Update #4

Dad was moved to Good Samaritan today. They have the best wound clinic in AZ so the decision was made by his previous Drs. to transfer him. We were just getting ready to go back for the afternoon when we got the call from Jeanie that they were moving him by ambulance. It took a long time to get him all moved and situated. We were finally able to see him at 9:00 p.m.! (That's why there were no phone calls tonight - sorry!) He was asking for his family members and wondering where we were.
When we finally saw him he was kind of agitated and ready to go home with us! He would say some funny things that would make us laugh - like negotiating with the nurse. (humor is needed at times like this!) Of course confusion is normal in his condition.
His bad foot looked a little worse tonight (if that's possible) and his good foot looks pretty much the same other than some blisters that popped.
He was given some meds to help calm him down before we left that hopefully will help him sleep. He still wanted to go home with us "all in one car"! I know that part is hard on mom when he wants to go home.
Melanie comes in tomorrow night and Kent will be here Thursday evening s0 that will be nice to all be together as a family.
I took a few pics tonight and will have Shara help me tomorrow get them posted.
Again - thanks for all your prayers and concern and love. Mom has appreciated all the phone calls you've sent.
I'm tired and it's time for bed! Goodnight!
