MONDAY 10:30PM NY TIME UPDATE

Dad has had tachycardia irregular heart rate and rapid heart rate.

he will be going in for surgery tomorrow, and could possibly back track  after it.

His thighs had pumps  for draining fluid and have now been removed so he can drain on his own.

He is now down to 5 IV pumps coming out of him.

He has occupation therapy people going to be taking care of his feet, hills and legs to help keep blood circulating. they are going to use lenard braces  to help support his foot angle as well as preventing pressure sores.

Mom was in shock the first night and a little aggravated because no one would tell her anything let alone the truth. they just told her he was lucky. the nurses couldn't believe that mom went home alone the first night. They did not expect him to last this long.

 

Dads color was a little off today, mom thinks it is because his breathing a little more on his own and has moments where he struggles a little. However she chewed him out a lot when ever his bells and whistles went off telling him to stop that, and  he would go back to normal. Mom thinks he knows she is there and doesn't like it when she leaves, how ever when she left to night the light on his monitors  said he was breathing on his own and everything was good.

Though dad can not speak  Mom said he responds well to music and likes the channel they have on for him. She also says she has been reading letters and cards from people to him, and when she is his breathing gets better. Mom thinks he knows

so please keep sending letters and cards it not only is helping dad but is also helping mom, and gives her something to do.

I have also heard that there is a way to send an email directly to the hospital and they print it up and bring it to mom. So as soon as I find out how that is done I will post the info here so that we can all send a letter to him. It will be the first thing I do in the morning.

Thanks for all the blessing and prayers. we love you all
