Dad is hanging in there. He didn't sleep much last night and is still in pain. It seems to get worse after he eats - Dr. Draper thinks there might be a nerve blockage - the GI doctor is coming in on Monday to run tests - so dad had to sit there today and tomorrow and have no tests done. Kind of stinks. He has an unruly roommate - one that should be in his room by himself, the man (not dad) just isn't all there - and just needs to be by himself. I think it's unfair that hospitals do that - it is bad enough to room with someone but to have to room with someone that is just out of control is too much.
I left dad around 2:30 because he was dozing in and out and I know he tries to stay awake for anyone that is there to keep them company, so I left and took mom with me. Jeremy was taking mom back when he had an accident at his house with a razor blade before he left - so he wound up going to St. Elizabeth ER and got 4 stitches in his finger while mom and Mindy were waiting in the waiting room - and they are on their way now. Like we didn't have enough going on Jert! I feel bad that dad was alone from 2:30 on BUT hopefully he got some sleep - I know he was planning on watching the Masters so I hope he was able to do that too. No one likes to be in the hospital alone - yuck.
I know we are all planning our trips up there tomorrow. Not a good way to spend Easter, but at least they are going to keep him there until they find out what is wrong. So no tests until Monday, just waiting around - aren't we always......
*** Per Dad's wishes: He would like NO VISITORS at the hospital*** You know how it is when you aren't feeling well you don't want anyone to see you and you don't want to feel like you have to entertain. I will update as things change.
Much love to all,
