An open letter to dad on Fathers Day

Dad,

Not sure how much you've been picking up from everybody in the room over the past few days but right now they're adding another medicine to help treat the fungal infection in your lungs, this one in concert with another hopefully will start helping you get better. Your blood counts are holding steady or improving which is showing us that your immune system is battling things and your bone marrow is producing the various parts of your blood that you need. Right now you're stable and resting as comfortably as possible for somebody who is very sick. If you don't remember any part of the ICU experience I don't blame you one bit.

Today is your 53rd day away from home and Fathers Day. Hopefully the medicine starts to work and we can get you out of the ICU, out of Iowa City and back home sometime soon. Until then, rest easy and get better.

Love,

Eddie
