The urinary tract infection is reducing. As a result, Dad is able to urinate a bit better. That means he is able to go longer between times. So rather than getting up every 15 minutes at night, he was able to sleep for a few hours at a time. This made him look better, and he seemed less emotional as well.
He is still constipated, and his body has not responded to the laxatives given for this.
He is walking well still. He walked too fast for the short nurse who escorted him around the floor hallways.
The antibiotics should improve the white blood cell count situation, so Dad can get his surgery done early next week. They delayed it at the last moment because with the low white blood cell count (at least for the ones that fight external infection), they were afraid of galloping bacteria spreading infection.
