Missy just called. She said they had a good visit and gave me a list of stuff mom would like brought tomorrow. Dad did not have the CT scan done last night - they expect to get it in tonight. They are pushing fluids again so dad is very puffy. He continues to have the feeding tube - it now goes in and down his nose. His throat is to swollen and sort to eat. He is also very weak. Mom continues to suction gunk out of his mouth (not sure if gunk is a word - but you get the idea).
Missy said that this morning dad keep trying to say something over and over. They tried with the standard questions - but he got frustrated. Finally the nurse had him say it really slow, one word at a time. Dad said, "Find out when I can go home." That was really hard for everyone. Of course there is no way dad can come home - or even back to GR right now. This afternoon was even harder the for girls and mom. Dad said, "I want to go home." Missy said there were tears all around and Bri, my niece, started crying.
Sorry - I'm done for now - I'll give you an update tonight after talking to mom.
