June 27th

Dad's mental state is excellent.  He got caught up on his bills and cleaning his desk. He wanted to build a spreadsheet, so I helped him do that.

In addition to John's great email update yesterday while we went to Costco, I want to add that Dr. Rose also said the culture she took last week came back negative and his ear was now completely clear. Non of last week's puss returned.

He is having some intermittent breathing issues.  It reminds me of an asthma attack.  He could be sitting in his chair and out of know where, he starts breathing heavy.

I working with Debbie's cousin Dean who is an MD and used to work at the Heart Hospital to see if we get in to see a pulmonologists or other specialist.  Dad feels strongly that if I take him to see Dr.

Nickols that he's going to treat everything BUT the breathing. So I'm working this other angle. If I come up empty, Dad has agreed to go to Dr. Nickols Thursday or Friday for a check up. We agreed on that this afternoon, so that is the latest update.
