GREAT NEWS! The hospital had an ultrasound of dad's legs done today and there were no additional clots in his legs. They also did an ultrasound of his heart - awaiting the results - and this evening the did a CAT Scan of his head. They are looking everywhere to determine that he is clear of clots to lessen the potential of a stroke.
Mom said when they send dad out for tests it takes 5 people to get him from point A to point B. One is holding all the wires, another is squeezing a hand pump to keep him breathing, another to pull one of three towers with meds, fluid, & stuff, I don't know what they all do - but it is quite a crew. Mom is still really pleased with dad's care and how the nurses and doctors are willing to talk her through each new thing that happens.
Mom talked to the nurse around 9:30 and dad was resting comfortably. Melissa - the nurse - has been dad's nurse a lot. It is nice because mom likes her and she is getting to know dad and what he is and is not capable of.
Mom and dad want everyone to know that the prayers are holding them up and they really appreciate all the cards that have come to the hospital and their home. Since it looks like dad will have his room for a while longer - mom has begun hanging the cards up around the window. Thanks for the support and encouragement!
