Hey all, not much of an update today
Very RESTLESS night for Ray last night.
Pain
has been under control today but he is still connected to epidural pump
with main meds going in intermittently....probably till tomorrow...that
should come out.
He did walk this AM with me, about 5 laps around the floor.
Pretty
dehydrated today, like A LOT, blew both IVs had to get new ones and
then got a bolis of fluid. Creatine (kidney function) is up to like
3.9...it was 2.0 before surgery so that is concerning to me but Rays
kidneys have trouble bouncing right back.
Small low grade fevers off and on- one last night, one today.
Really had a rough day from about 12-evening.
Able to drink small sips of water today.
NG tube- nose tube out this AM, he was VERY happy about that.
Bowels
are beginning to awaken...and tonight he is starting to feel
hungry...so those are good signs. But his stomach is feeling extended
and full....just needs to get it out!
We are
praying that tomorrow is a better day. I hope that he will have a bit
more energy tomorrow. Praying that fevers subside (he is on IV
antibiotics), praying that he just makes more gains tomorrow. I am
staying now for sure until Monday because I wasn't really pleased with
how he bounced back today, or lack there of.
So he still is in need of your prayers for healing. Hoping tomorrow is just a NEW better day.
Thank you as always to ALL of you all.
Ray and Janet
