FRIDAY EVENING

Dad's doing ok tonight.

They are giving him 2 more units of blood right now. His Hemoglobin level is at 8.5 (only .5 more than before the 1st unit). His level should be between 14-18. They also drained his hip out, and now have this sponge like unit that vacuums the drainage out of the incision area. So far, so good. They are measuring the drainage with this unit and there is none at this point. YEAH. He is really groggy from the lack of blood though.

(me playing with my photo phone frames! LOL!
He is doing GREAT as far as physical therapy is going. They've given him a discharge from that already... now we're just waiting on the blood pressure to rise up and for the blood level to get back to normal! He looked a little jaundiced to me, so I checked with his nurse and she said that they did check his liver and the level was normal. So not so sure on that one.

Dad's room mate wasn't a very shy old man at all! LOL! Here are Chris and Casey's expressions after seeing the full moon shine:

Way too funny!!!! Hahaha.

Here's one of those "you had to be there moments"... or more so "glad you weren't there" moments. Hahaha.
The cleaning lady came in to clean the room mates side (since he had been transfered to a new place), and she came to this container on the wall. None of us even noticed the nasty thing until she made a comment about it. She said it smelled REALLY bad. We all looked at her like she was crazy! Well, she removed the container and I thought we were all going to puke. It was the most gosh awful wrenching smell you've ever had touch your nose. Yes, even worse than dad's gas! LOL! It was BAD. We all left dad and ran to the end of the hall until the smell had cleared. It was too funny!
