Morning Update

Alice just got an update from the nurse.  Dad is doing fine this morning.  The surgeon called the hospital to check on him at midnight.

There's still blood coming out of the tube from his chest.  They are not doing anything about it, but are monitoring it.

He was sitting in a chair.  He didn't want to get up, but they made him.

He's complaining that he can't take a deep breath, which is somewhat normal.

He is not complaining of pain.  He was given a Percaset rather than morphine, which was making him nauseous.

He's drinking.  Had to in order to get the Percaset down.

His delicious breakfast this morning consists of a clear liquid diet.  Sounds yummy.  If tolerated, then he can move on to other solid foods.

Looking forward to seeing him later this morning.

    Hooray!!! Our prayers are being answered. Continue to do well and get home quickly because we miss seeing you in the neighborhood. Al watered your tomato plants last night -- they are looking good. Everything is taken care of for the HNOJ Seniors' Meeting. Don't worry about anything but getting yourself back on the road to good health!! Talk to you soon, Joan & Al
