Finally getting to you all with the latest! As I had said last night, Joey ended up getting another drain tube in his stomach area to drain out all of the "stuff" that is not suppose to be there. This was suppose to happen last night, just got done this afternoon. He also has a new picc line in his arm so now his is getting all the nutrition he needs. HE LOOKS LIKE A NEW MAN because they took away the infamous NG tube at around 3pm. He probably looks better than he feels, so we need to be careful with his movements.
Yesterday he did get out for his first walk since we've been here. Saw a lot of the old nurses from before and they greeted us with open arms. We officially have a new family down here. They are even looking ahead on their schedules to see who will be working when I am here!! No joke! We played a game of cribbage yesterday too and I have been told I was very mean because I didn't let Joey win. His Doc told me that, too. Now I am feeling guilty, so a rematch has been set for tonight.
Headed home on Sunday for Caleb's birthday and Mother's Day with the kids. My friend Donna is going home with me so I will have company for the ride...plus she heard what we were having for dinner..Frank's Bake Shop Prime Rib. There is nothing like it!
Doing better for now. Still have to keep it low, but we are headed in the right direction :)
God Bless and {{hugs}} to all!
