Saturday evening

Spent an hour with Dad this evening, and he was in even better spirits. The four of us (Dad's girlfriend was there when we arrived) chatted for a bit, with American Chopper on in the background.

Unfortunately, his girlfriend just called to say that his temperature's around 101. She's asked the nurses to perform a blood culture, so we can figure out if he's got any sort of infection. I'm hoping that it's just the stress of the operation, the blood transfusions, etc., causing a little fever.
