Wednesday - Update (5/16) - 4 weeks later

28 days ago today Dad was under the knife, and even though he's had a lot thrown at him he seems to be coming through alright! And no better day than today to announce that Dad no longer has any tubes draining fluids from him!! He must feel very relieved; I know his family is.

The nurses have had him up and walking around today. I've tried calling him to chat but he's probably exhausted from the trip to and from the hallway.

His hemoglobin is at 9.6 (it's varying). He is still not allowed to drink anything, just sucking on wet sponges--how delicious. His major surgery incision looks healthy. His blood pressure and temperature also are in good ranges. Hopefully more good news to come!
