Made it home safe sound yesterday after a 3 1/2 hour drive. Dad enjoyed sitting outside and relaxing in the shade. Thanks to his neighbors for getting the mail, watering plants and generally keeping an eye on things.
After a light meal last night, Dad developed some intense indigestion which kept him unconfortable all evening. Then, around midnight, he started with hiccups which have persisted into this afternoon. You can imagine how little rest he has had.
There is no cure for hiccups and no new meds can be introduced. So, we are trying all the traditional remedies - icewater, hot tea, spoonful of honey, breathing into a paper bag, etc, etc. The only thing we aren't going to try is to scare him real bad - not advised at this point.
Russ and Vera brought the dog back. Bella is the only dog that I'm aware of that travels with her own lazyboy recliner. No kidding.
Dad has received many cards, well wishes and a huge flower arrangement with balloons from his office. Thanks for all the prayers and concern.
