THURSDAY UPDATE ON DAD

Hi everyone, I talked to dad around lunch time and he seems to be doing very well. They unhooked all his stuff yesterday so now he can get around and actually use the bathroom. He's had his PT today which went well. He likes all the new gadgets he gets to play with! (I'm in trouble now!) He does however need to receive 1 unit of blood because his hemoglobin count was too low today. I called his dr. to find out the reason and he said that it's normal for after surgery and dad is doing GREAT! So I guess I need not worry. It looks as if he gets to spend yet another night in the hospital. Hopefully he'll be able to come home tomorrow! But who knows with it being a holiday weekend and all. We will be headed up to visit him around dinner time. It should be a very interesting visit since I have NO voice today!

Dad had a blood transfusion tonight. I guess his hemoglobin was down to 8. Eeeks. So they are trying to build him back up. We took Logan up for a visit tonight and he just cuddled with Grandpa! What a sweetie pie.
