Good Evening everyone; Dad medically and physically is improving quite well. They still are planning on moving him in the next few days. His oxygen level is holding where it is supposed to be, his temp is normal or below. His therapy doesn't seem to be bothering him as much.
Emotionally Dad is struggling, he is trying to be upbeat, but struggling, I cannot even begin to imagine how he feels. Depression is quite common with this type of illness, he is being given meds to help, but, it is really setting in what has happened and what condition he is in. You all know Dad is a very independant man and isn't happy about not being in control of his situation. Not to mention the fact he hasn't spoken in almost 7 weeks.
He will nod when asked if he is frustrated and worried, he indicates that he is not worried about himself, he is worried about Mom. We tell him Mom is doing fine (which she really is) and we are trying to take care of things, but we still need him.
Please keep the prayers and positive thoughts flowing their way
Love to All;
Skip
Saturday (April 19) will be my Dads 71st birthday, If you would like to send him a birthday card it would be very much appreciated. Maybe even perk him up some. We don't know where he will be then so, please contact someone in his family, or Email me for an address; Thanks
