Oh man,
I called Barbara yesterday when I got home about 5:00 to check in and go over for a visit. Barbara told me that she had a call in to the Dr. due to an elevating temperature and headaches that were bothering Dick. I made my call short to open the phone line with a promise to touch base today.
I missed a call on my cell phone this morning from Barbara, but she left a message that she took Dick to the Emergency room last night, and that they admitted him again. There is a possibility he has a mild case of pneumonia due to the steroids, and the headaches certainly would not be uncommon. He is in room 711-b, which is a semi-private room. I called a few minutes ago and Dick's roommate passed the phone to him. He doesn't sound too good at the moment- go figure! I asked him to have Barbara call me with an update, but I don't feel he is is any shape for much company. This is most likely the second hurdle he has to get over, and let's all give both of them as much support as we can.
I will keep everyone posted as I learn any more facts.
