Staci's DAD needs Prayers ~ Pain *Fixed* ~ Back HOME & Recovering

[Daisy and Delilah]

It sounds like things are going great for your Dad, Staci. I'm so happy to hear the good news. I hope he's chowing down on some biscuits and gravy by now I can feel his pain. That hospital food leaves alot to be desired We'll keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Staci, what good news! Oh, I just hope this continues and he gets better and better. What a great Christimas present for your Dad and your entire family.

So, the Big Red Dog went calling while you were away?

talked to my mom about an hour ago and
he was up on his way to the bathroom. They had taken the catheter out this morning. He had been down the hall to visit my mom's friend's husband. He ate pancakes and sausage for breakfast and was going to get a hamburger and all the fixin's with cherry pie for lunch.
on the phone with HIM now - he answered again - he said that he has met all the criteria on the list for PT - steps, walking etc, the nurses said that as long as he is eating, keeping it down, urinating, and making gas sounds, they don't see a problem with him going home tomorrow. He said well I haven't had BM yet and they said "Oh we don't care about that - as long as your bowels are working (gas)- it will come" He was pretty sick Sunday - vomiting and diarrhea - probably due to nerves and some food poisoning and with the liquid diet yesterday - he probably doesn't have a whole lot to get rid of!
-k- enough on THAT subject!

I'm glad to hear your dad is doing well. I bet he cant wait to go home. You all will be in my thoughts.

Oh Stace, this is fabulous to hear such positive news about dad!!

His having his appetite back...and the feistiness about it...is a GOOD sign! Him being sick of his special "clear liquids" shows that his tum tum is all better and he's healing and his body is asking for more nutrients to heal itself. Excellent! (I know that when I'm a "guest" at the hospital, its always a good sign when I'm asking for REAL food as opposed to the ugh, 'lovely' liquids, too.)

Nurses are correct, (and you too!) if he’d been ill on Sunday, he probably wont have a BM, but if there is noise going on in there, that’s all they’ll need. Like Slick said, its so funny to see our doctors and nurses so pleased with basic bodily functions, its like we’re 2 years old! ha ha

All his walking, stepping and getting around is so great! I'm so proud of him, so I can only imagine how you, mom and his DOCTORS feel! This is so great! They must do amazing work at that place...from what you said, it sounds like a phenomenal center, and your dad completely deserves it. At this rate, I bet he’ll be packing his bag and being co-pilot on Wednesday!

Keep on resting and eating that yummy food, Mr. M! Can’t wait to hear how well you’re doing in the next uppydate!

Hugs, Kelly

[NoahsMommy]

Is there an uppydate on Mr. M today???

[shais_mom]

Mr. M is home as we speak. I spoke to them a few hours ago and they were making a potty stop. I haven't talked to them since they have been home. I myself am home with some type of flu so I wasn't able to update as I have been sleeping most of the day!

[wolflady]

That's great news, Stace! I'm glad you're dad is home and on his way to feeling so much better!

**hugs**

[Cinder & Smoke]

Mr. M is home as we speak.

I myself am home with some type of flu ...

Poor Baby!!

Sheese ... we just get one of you fixed up ...
and another one "gets broken"!


Hope YOU shake your bug quickly;
and that Dad takes it easy for a while and gets his back back into shape.

BOTH of you go "easy" for a while, please!!
