071304 -        From: Rod Welch
071317 -         ..
071318 -    3.  Thanks for the update on Ed, that treatment for pneumonia did
071319 -        not reduce his symptoms.  Glad he is getting care to control
071320 -        pain, and that he has you for support.
071322 -         ..
071323 -    4.  I guess being hospitalized yesterday occurred before he saw the
071324 -        primary care doctor that was planned from the last ER visit a
071325 -        few weeks ago??
071327 -         ..
071328 -    5.  Has infection from the dental issue been presented as a
071329 -        possible cause of rising symptoms?  From Ed's description in
071330 -        the call a few weeks ago, sounded like this needs review.  Dad
071331 -        had a lot of dental issues, so maybe Ed got that genetic trait.
071333 -         ..
071334 -    6.  By copy letting others in the family know about Ed.
071336 -         ..
071337 -    7.  When you get his phone number at the hospital, I will call.
071338 -        Hopefully, can come visit this weekend.  Mil starts a new

071340 -        how she will feel with side effects.

071708 - Kathy said there was a mixup last night.  For some reason the doctor
071709 - forgot to sign the order for pain medication.  So, Ed had a difficult
071710 - night.  This morning the medical chart has been updated, so Ed is
071711 - getting medication that prevents pain.  He is now compfortable.
071713 -  ..

072105 -  ..
072106 - He likes the doctor.  Feels he can do business with her directing his
072107 - care.  The first step is to discover the cause of affliction, so that
072108 - a treatment plan can be developed to begin recovery.
