He wants everyone to know he is alive and kicking just not very hard.
First off he says he never was on a ventilator he was on a non- rebreather mask so that makes it a bit less scary. During the procedure to removed the blood clot from the kidney he went into heart failure where his lungs filled up with fluid and according to him he started coughing his fool head off. (his words not mine!!) The doc was irritated but the procedure went off ok - he was in the recovery room still coughing with no doc around to write an order for lasix.
He appreciates all the cards and calls he is sorry he hasn't been able to talk to anyone yet.
He is scheduled for the cath on Monday.
Honestly he sounds 110% better then he did a week and half ago before he went into the hospital.
Keep the prayers and thoughts and calls and cards coming!
I remembered I forgot the new number where he is....

330-480-4559 is the direct line to his room and his new room number is

4509BThe room and the phone line do not match but that is correct according to him!
