Sunday's Update

Today was relatively uneventful.  The physical therapist came in and worked with Dad again.  This time she was able to get him out of bed with the help of another nurse.  This is great news.  It's the first time he's been out of the bed since Thursday.

He had a rough night Saturday night.  He got very combative and had to be restrained and sedated.  Because of this they moved him to a room closer to the nurses station to keep a closer eye on him.

He is still having hallucinations.  He was up on his knees in the bed last night saying that there were snakes in the bed.  He was talking to Mom today when she wasn't there.  He insisted that she was.

I brought Alex and the twins up to the hospital to see him today.  He saw Alex and got to talk to him.  I think Alex was afraid but he told Papa he loved him and gave him a hug and kiss and told him all about how he was going bowling with a friend later today.  It was very sweet.  He even packed 2 capri suns to give to Papa and a couple fruit roll ups for when he goes home :)

Alex shows Papa Tiger :)

Dad and Bobby looking at news from Japan...

We did not get any results or new information today regarding Dad's condition.  Tomorrow will be the big day.  He'll have the heart cath and we'll know from there what our next step will be.  Dad is (for some unknown reason) cooperating with going along with the surgery plans as well as boarding Belle.  I took her (Belle-Mom and Dad's golden retriever) this afternoon to the kennel for boarding.  She'll be there for at least the next 5 days.  

Well, time for bottles and bed.  I'll take my laptop to the hospital tomorrow so I can update my blog when I have new info.  Please check back often for updates.  This is the best way for me to keep everyone updated.

Love,
