Dad woke up again this morning! Hopefully he was able to sleep well last night since he spent a lot of time awake yesterday. He's still trying to communicate with mom, unfortunately she's not the best at reading lips. (the rest of us are equally bad at this) Today he is saying that " _______ comes and goes". If only we knew what that something was. This must be so frustrating for him.
The STICU has gotten a new group of residents, so there were LOTS of Dr.'s on rounds this morning. Of course mom is hoping to get to know dad's doctor (Dr. Campbell) better. I'm sure it won't take mom long at all strike up a converstation with her.
Dad is still off of antibiotics, he's making urine, he's not very yellow so his liver must be improving, and he's waking up regularly. EVERYTHING seems to be moving in the right direction.
This morning he had dialysis and did well during that. I'm not sure what he thought about it, but I doubt he liked it much. His blood pressure is very good today (actually higher than usual), so he's set for surgery.
They are taking him back to surgery now. This is the first time he's been awake for the ride - he must be so confused! Please pray that the bowel Dr. Duke repaired on Monday is healing and surgery goes well.
