Wednesday

Just spent a few minutes with Dad tonight. He is pretty worn out. For some reason they have gone from zero to 60 in two days. He walked three times today, 60' twice and 180' this afternoon. None of today's activity was done by PT, instead the nurses got it done. I just hope that they are not going too fast. May be a moot point tomorrow because Dad is moving out of ICU to the PT wing. Unless something changes he will be in room 425. It will be less attention but it will be quiet and he should be able to rest and sleep better. The nurse on duty tonight said that the PT's usually spend most of their time on that end. Hopefully he can get in a routine and we will see some consistency.

Dad is still in A-Fib and is throwing a few PVCs. This is not unusual for A-Fibbers but it is a little scary to see one on the monitor. He will not be on a monitor at the other end but vitals will be taken often and if they think he needs a monitor they can put one on him. He will have another xray some time tomorrow to check on the BOOP. He is not in any pain but he knows that his voice is weak and it bothers him that he can't talk as much as he would like. He wants to quiz the nurses and other personnel about different things. The duty nurse said that he has charmed all the staff and they really have enjoyed having him on the ward. I guess he will have to charm a new bunch tomorrow.

Update on our friends: Millie had a double mastectomy and is resting comfortably. Bill's surgeon did not recommend surgery. Danny went home today and is awaiting results from a test. Thank you for your prayer. One more, Arron White his battling pancreatic cancer, remember him and his wife Paula tonight.

God is good!
