On one hand it was such a great day for dad. They removed more lines - leaving him with only a nostril oxygen tube and a saline line. He started his day with drinking lots of liquids to the nurses ordering him a solid dinner. Which believe it or not - he was excited to have the hospital food!
The physiotherapist was in to visit him today. Dad told Pam that she had him "up dancing".
So while he was very patient with the breathing tube - he is now having to exercise his patience once again waiting for the doctors and specialists to visit him. WE ALL ARE!!
On another good note, Dad will be moving out of the ICU to a room on another floor. For some reason he seems to think that he will be in a private room with a window - whatever Vic wants, Vic gets!! That's our "5 star" Dad. By tomorrow, we hope he will be settled in his own room.
The specialist at the Foothills has been notified that Dad is waiting for her visit since last Friday - so we can only hope that tomorrow will bring her presence.
Not much else to report today.
We are enjoying all your notes of best wishes and are passing them on to Mom and Dad.
Love, the family.
Isn't the waiting game a tough one? It's hard to be patient when there is so much at stake. Sounds like Vic is in good spirits. Glad to hear he is up a bit and stable enough leave ICU. It's so busy in there.
