And now there are three

The nine family members have now become three: Mom, Aunt Diane and me. Aunt Diane is staying with Dad tonight so Mom and I can get some rest. We are hopeful that he will have as good of a day tomorrow as he did today and might be able to go home soon.

He had a rough start to the morning. But after convincing him that he can not control his pain with only an ice pack and his nausea with just a cracker, he did quite well. He went for two walks, ate all his meals sitting up in a chair and carried on several long conversations.

The sign outside his ICU room still reads, "Pending transfer." Maybe we will just be transferring right out of the hospital and going home.

  1. Glad to learn things are going well, hopefully you can get that transfer earlier rather than later, and also hoping you are back home very soon. We keep receiving updates from Mike G, my best wishes to Don from Venezuela.

    Regards
