Recovery Day 6

We thought this might be our going home day, but not to be.  While Mom and I were enjoying a scrumptous Italian dinner last night, Dad had an episode of irregular heart beat.  By the time we got back to tuck him in, he dad gone through two blood draws and two EKGs. The blood work is normal, there are no heart distress symptoms, but the docs want him to hang around one more day for observation.

Dad did in fact get his last stomach drain pulled yesterday.  Contents of the stomach drainage show no fluids leaking from his new plumbing connections. Internal healing is sound.  Big answer to prayer.

Dad was on pain pills all day yesterday, but has not asked for anything as of yet today.  He's feeling much better and stronger.

Yesteray, Mom and I took a good walk to the nearby shopping complex.  Back home in Georgia we're in the midst of the dawg days of summer, and you don't take walks without getting sweat soaked. The weather here is glorious. A real treat for me.

This is the shopping area that Mom and I walked to yesterday.

We just looked.
