Still Mending–But Slower Than He Thought
Dad is still doing well. He got put on a liquid diet today, so that’s a step up. They also removed his Foley Catheter and his epidural.
He was delighted they removed the catheter (as were well, but for a different reason) and although he was glad to have one less tube sticking into him, once they removed the epidural, he started to feel a lot more discomfort than he had previously.
Yesterday he was talking about going home Monday. After they took out the epidural, less talk of going home.
Also, since he has not yet eaten solid food, not too sure about him getting sent him.
So, we’ll see. I know Mom will be glad to get out of the hotel she’s in, and Brian, Michael and I will be glad to not have to drive to Wheeling, but I’d rather he stay in longer than go home too soon.
