Saturday night

This has been an ok day! Tim has attempted to rest a lot of the day, although it has not been easy. The nurses, doctor or someone comes in every few hours. Overall probably a good thing, hate to think of a patient that was never looked in on! The nurses have removed his stomach tubes and the catheter. (Not sure I'm spelling that right). He is not "going" enough and that is a concern. He's not overly mobile yet - but I'll be getting him to move around more tomorrow.
The nurse has just come in to check on him (it's about 10:30 pm) and is going to get him out of bed and see if she can jiggle some liquids out of him. Seems like there should be room for a lot funnies here..... all there is, is a lot of dust! I guess the "picture" is funny. He's standing there with a plastic urinal to catch what comes out - while drinking some juice. If it were just some free standing plumbing - he could pour it in and catch it on the way out. We need a Betsy Wetsy doll to show him the trick! Wonder if we could take up a collection for him!
I will stay in the room tonight. I hope we will both get some sleep and tomorrow will be a better day! Overall, I don't think he will have much doctor traffic till Monday. Then it will be back to "business" and see what equipment and tests he'll have to jump through to get out of here!
Good night to all! Thanks again for your comments and emails. We do read both!
