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!
