I can tell when things get tiring in Boston, because the text messages make less and less sense! That is totally understandable, but I will try my best to translate! :)
Dad has been battling a bit of a fever the last few days. It is unsure if it is because he has an infection somewhere, or if its just his body on "drug overload!" As of last night, his fever had dropped, and they got his pain managed so he could sleep. Dads blood pressure has been and on again, off again problem since surgery. This morning is an "on again" morning! They did an echocardiogram to see if it was possible to turn up his pacemaker. This seemed to make the problem worse. They gave him a unit of blood to see if that helps, and then they want to concentrate on getting his streangth up. Once they get his blood pressure under control, they can start getting his stomach to wake up from its liquid IV food, and get him some more nutrient food!!
Things seem to change so quickly there, that I will try and get an update later this afternoon! Usually when I can call, I understand more and then I am able to spread that information along to all of you!
Love you Uncle Dave and Barbara - thinking of you this afternoon. You and your family are always in our prayers!
