Friday the 13th has come to an end and we are all a little sleepy. It was a GREAT day and My Dad is our TRUE HERO! He was such an amazing trooper today with all the pushy instructions and activity but never once did he frown upon us :) He stood at the bedside once this morning with PT present and then about 3:45 we helped him transfer to a chair where he sat for almost an hour....what a guy!!!!! He is doing so well with the pain too....his biggest challenge is trying to deep breath and cough. It is a little difficult considering the very large tubes coming out of both sides of his chest. My poor Dad is so concerned with what I do to help him, ie. positioning/suctioning/etc. because he says he doesn't want me to get in trouble. I reassured him that we love family members like me...hahahahah.
By 7:15pm Dad had several of his grandchildren at his side we hugs and kisses, some not quit sure of the situation but still willing to love on him. They were all very GLAD to see him smiling and even making some silly comments. Well I'm going to sign off for now before I fall asleep on this keyboard. I will be back up and running in the am......the none weight kind of running.
