Going On

Dad had a rough morning when mom got to his room at 9am. They had moved dad around quite a bit - changing bedding, bath, & the respiratory therapist had been there to clean his lungs (a lot of blood and goop from the surgery yesterday so it took longer than normal) - so it took a little to get him comfortable. Dad is still unable to talk although mom says it is not for a lack of trying. His lips are just a moving! My sisters, Missy & Heidi, are up there for the day as well as my niece, Brianna. When Brianna went into the room dad puckered up and there was no dough he wanted a kiss! When Bri told grandpa she loved him - his lips moved - I can't imagine how frustrating that is. To not talk, unable to write notes or type - well I'm sure anyone reading that didn't know me before this event now knows that I have quite a bit to say!!!

The good thing about all the moving is that it get dad's blood pressure to bump up a little. He is still having it in the 80/50s - but mom said not the scary lows. There continues to be a medication they give him when it starts to hang out low.

I hope and pray that mom and dad have a good day with the girls. My turn tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in! - -
