Awww thanks so much Diana. You are so sweet!

They are giving my Dad something through his iv for the fluid. I can't remember the name of it. They had been giving him lasix (sp?) but it hasn't helped at all to get rid of any fluid. Normally that's what he takes for fluid buildup. They are going to leave the drip on for 8 hrs and after that every 12 hrs. I am worried about his kidneys. When he went in his creatnine count was 4.0 now it's like 3.8 but for him that isn't terribly bad. Will update later or tomorrow after I get back from the hospital.
