July 25, 2009

Today was a little discouraging. The chest tube will most likely not come out until Monday. Somehow we got the impression that it could possibly come out today. I think that we see a lot
of different nurses and the doctors only once a day, so we must have misunderstood. Anyway, today was more of the same. Dad is getting some fluid in his lungs so the breathing exercises are imperative and he needs to cough regularly to move the fluid out. Today Dad was particularly tired since he didn't sleep well last night. He has been getting a lot of visits and phone calls. Even though the visits and brief and from those he loves, it is wearing him out. To any family members that are viewing this blog we would invite you to send me or Andrew an email and we would be happy to relay your thoughts to him. If you choose to post a comment on the blog, we can make sure he hears that message too. Perhaps by Sunday evening he will be feeling more strength. This experience will certainly be a test of patience. Dad needs our prayers. Thank you so much for yours on his behalf!!
