Yeah!!! It's Friday!!! And it's been a good one around here!
Ron has done well over the last 36 hours with his tube feed so they have increased the amount. He started with 10 cc per hour (24 hours a day) and they have now doubled it to 20 cc per hour.
Last night was a rough night...different nurse who was a little unorganized so didn't get much sleep; he was able to sleep in a little this morning but is pretty tired this evening. He was able to walk about 20 feet today with his physical therapist; sat up in the chair while I bathed him and washed his hair and then stayed there about an hour. He was definitely ready for a nap afterwards, but could only catnap as they came in and out.
God continues to bless! White blood count is still trickling down (17,000 today); hemoglobin has stayed at 8.7, creatnine (kidney function) is down to 1.1 (I don't think it has ever been that low throughout his entire hospital stay), he's had no fever in over a week, and his blood sugar is only needing to be checked every 6 hours!
AND when Dr. Elieson came in this evening he was pleased there has been no output in over a week from the drain behind the kidney, so he was able to remove the tube that we think is the culprit of the groin pain!!! WOO HOO!!!!!
Aaron brought his XBox and hooked it up to the TV in Ron's room so we have enjoyed a family movie night (watched a Christmas movie, Elf) and now the guys are playing Tiger Woods Golf while Ron caddies! Watch out Cronies!!!!
We cannot begin to thank you for your prayer support, emotional and physical support and your financial support as well! Don't know why it surprises us (God is always faithful to fulfill His promises!) but we are continually amazed and humbled at how God provides for our needs through you, our faithful family and friends! You all are incredible!
Enjoy your weekend!
