As it turned out, Ed had a very nasty pneumonia bacteria (klebsiella), so we are very thankful that he held his own and did not run any really high fever. I think that the respiratory practitioner that we have hired to work on Ed once a day has definitely made a difference, both in his individual work on Ed to clear his lungs and in training the staff at Monaco Parkway how to use an "ambulatory bag" to expand his lungs before suctioning secretions out.
Ed does seem to be over the pneumonia - tamperature is back to normal. Now we just pray that it does not come back!

So happy the pneumonia has passed. Our prayers continue to be with you, Kathy and Stan
That's an answer to prayer. I'll be stopping to see him sometime soon, before one of my knee injection trips over at the Tech Center. Cherry
