| Chocolate ice cream & THICK coffee |
Dinner before we left was quite interesting. I started with thickened orange juice, the mashed potatoes and gravy; a tad of macaroni and cheese; thick coffee and chocolate ice cream. He did okay for the start of regular food. There were other things like a bun, pineapple and cut up green beans but he had no interest in them. It was an effort to eat but he had enough for his just starting regular food.
He also had a doppler test because his left arm appeared to be swelling so they took a doppler test and after the radiologist looked at it they believe there was a little blood clot so they immediately gave him heparin.
Every hour they prick him for blood as they do testing for diabetes. He has never had diabetes but I guess something with starting regular food things do something to your blood. Also it has something to do with all the different medications that he is taking.
Today his blood pressure and heart rate and oxygen level were quite good so we are hoping for the better day tomorrow. He was quite tired this afternoon.
He had the sacrament of the sick on Saturday by Father Dean from St. Gilbert and today a minister of care from St. Joseph did a blessing and gave me Holy Communion. Looking forward to the coming days to be better and Carl become stronger. Keep those prayers coming. |
