Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Talked to my mom tonight and my dad had a few bites of jello to eat tonight and some sips of broth. He was able to get some exercise by taking about two steps to the chair in the corner of the room and took a seat. It sounds like his color is better, his energy has been pretty good and has taken just one pain pill. He hasn't napped all afternoon, so that may help him sleep better tonight. (And now it sounds like I'm talking about Henry...)
Still unclear on when dad can be discharged but maybe tomorrow afternoon
Andrew and i are back home now, my mom will stay the night in the hospital and my aunt judy will stay in a hotel in OKC
Jay says to everyone: Thanks for all the prayers, they worked like a charm.
Dad said when he first came out of anesthesia he asked "what are all these people doing in my bedroom?"
Dad will have to stand up once or twice this evening to get his blood circulating and then once he's home get on the treadmill for 10 minutes 5 times a day
