Yesterday was my Dad's 71st Birthday... DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE! Still so young... although these past few months the battle is taking it's toll!
On Saturday, I had the family over for dinner and cake/icecream. When the family gets together it is never a small group... 36 total if EVERY member was there, 17 of us were there. It is always a good time when we get together to eat and visit.
Sunday, we stopped by my parent's place to fix the computer... we spent a few hours visiting. Towards the end of the visit my Dad started getting shakey again. Apparently it is now a nightly ritual... Dad gets shakey... takes temperature... temperature is high... takes Tylenol... lays in bed with a blanket to warm up... finally goes away in a few hours. He didn't go lay in bed... but he did have a temperature and did take Tylenol. When I was hugging him good-bye. His forehead was warm and sweaty... his hands cold as ice... and I MEAN COLD AS ICE... my back was cold for about 20 minutes after he touched me.
We mentioned the whole fever thing to the doctor and he seemed non-concerned about it. I on the otherhand can't imagine having a nightly fever is good and that there isn't an underlying issue. I guess we will find out when Dad goes back in a few weeks. Until then... we "just keep swimming swimming... "
