Saturday March 29

The pace in the regular room...is much slower. Doctors Eiserwirth, Johnston and Murray came in today to check on Bill. All state he is doing well but it is the beginning of a long term recovery process. Slight fever today. Blood pressure a little higher.

Bill pulled the tube off of his feeding tube twice last night. So the right hand was tied this morning and the doctors ordered...feedings three times daily directly into the PEG. No more drip feedings around the clock.

He slept soundly from about 10:00AM until 5:00PM. Only aroused slightly for the doctors. Then I asked if he could sit up in the Ortho chair. They use a lift to move him into a similar chair...not as comfortable looking as the one in ICU. It took almost 2 hours to get the team to get him in the chair. He stayed awake the whole two hours he was in the chair. Wanted to write a lot but it was mostly about some Faux Greaux that our neighbor shot in the back yard. What ever !!

Brad, Jennifer & Megan stopped by to visit today. Bill was not feeling too well at that time and pretty much slept.
Bonnie & Eric also came by to visit...Eric made Bill a World's Coolest Uncle get well card for all of the neices and nephews to sign. Bill pretty much slept that visit also.
Babes, Beth, Ross & Olivia also came by to visit. Bill was up in the chair at that time. He was more alert and did do some writing for Babes...mostly about his butt hurts.

Hope you get a more comfortable mattress tomorrow and have a good night, honey.
