Yesterday went well. Dad stayed in the ICU for one more day due to an arythmic heartbeat and high blood sugar level. He has a temporary pace maker that has actually had to work a few times...not the most exciting as his family! He's in great shape for just having that much work done to his heart. The nurses and doctors are very reassuring that this is all VERY common to his procedure. He did finally eat a little bit of solid food as well...salsbary steak (old school lunch type) and peaches. He was not overly excited about eating, but he did it anyway. Just another step towards recovering.
I called this morning to check in with the nurses on dad. They said he's doing really well. He's sitting in his chair again. Dr. Lawry came in early this morning and was very happy with his progress...so happy that he will let him move upstairs to a regular hospital room this afternoon!! That means no more 20 minute visits or visiting hours!! YAY! This is a positive move and we just hope dad starts feeling more comfortable now. He's been a champ through this whole thing! We are very proud of how strong he is! Keep you posted as we go...looking good!
