Dad arrived at the UofM Hospital about 6:30 this evening. Right away his oxygen blood level was low. The doctors talked with dad and he agreed to be put on the resperator again - only if they promised to keep him sedated. They have also added an arterial line to measure his blood pressure constantly (instead of a blood pressure cuff).
Mom is very tired. She did admit that she got a little lost. She got off the highway for a restroom break and supper stop - and discovered the ramp to get back on the highway was closed. After driving around she got directions and found her way back. Upon getting to the hospital she made the wise choice to bring her walker - she thinks she walked about 2 miles before arriving to dads bedside. The nurses seem really nice. They gave her some blankets and an evening snack of milk and graham crackers.
If you would like to send a card, etc. - he is in the UofM Hospital Medical ICU rm#6820.
Again - thank you for the prayers and notes of encouragement. Mom has loved the comments and reads them to dad everyday.
