Did I really say that?

How many times do we preach to be careful what you ask for. All I wanted was a plan. But what I typed was "waiting on the doctor to come and maybe something will happen." Shhhaaammmee on me. So the doctor came at 2:00. He changed dressings, advanced his diet, removed his iv fluid, changed his medicine, and said we would negotiate the possibility of getting to go home tomorrow. I know that he was not off of the floor before Mark was telling me he didn't feel so good. I thought it might of been the sight of his open incision, but when it didn't subside with time, I knew something must be up. It really might have started earlier because he didn't have an appetite at lunch either (he thought he just couldn't stomach another pureed meal!)

He spent the next six hours feeling pretty poorly. I got them to give something for nausea, but he didn't get much relief until he was finally sick. Relief lasted a short time. Soooooo, he never got that regular diet that he wanted. He really hasn't eaten much since am and nothing since noon. He is back on an iv and iv meds for nausea and pain, had lab work done and is facing an NG tube down his nose if it persists. We have called on all the prayer warriors because he would really like to fore go the tube. At present he has been resting for about 30 min, so maybe it will continue.

And I promise not to mention our boredom again!!!! Much love, Missy.
