THURSDAY, APRIL 1 UPDATE -- RECURRING INFECTION

Okay, I love the flower greeting Sharon sent and tomorrow I shall buy some pink petunias to remind me longterm of how beautiful all is- there was a butterfly in the greeting, and it flitted all around and reminded me of the fragility of any of our relationships, and that today "it" may be catchable and close, and tomorrow it may flit far, too far to catch..
I learned finally a little more today that Tom is very sick again, with a recurring infection around his wound, that his body is very acidic which is good environment to foster infections, that he is accumulating fluids again, his kidney cannot keep up the good work of processing same, and tonight they may reconsider dialysis again, which I have learned is a good thing as it can push through cleaner bloods/fluids and get him normalized again--meanwhile, we are on a backslide temporarily as this is a repeat of what happened one time in Orlando--and it is tinged with sadness as it just makes one wonder how strong he ever will be to get all this in perspective again. On the other hand, perhaps it is the part of the uphill battle to do same, as when I saw him Monday and loved our time together, he was in my mind well on his way to normalcy and good times again..but alas, the butterfly has flitted elsewhere, hopefully to bring back some sweet nectar to make things positive again for all, and maybe a few days from now we will see the fruit of just that.
Meanwhile, time will do its work and it proves again in the florida sun that so much is out of our direct control. I just hope the butterfly did not flit away and leave me..I can find a tear or two about such a thought.
