They are moving Perry to ICU this morning so they can monitor him more closely, due to his heart rate. He will now have one nurse over 2 patients, rather than 8 patients per nurse on the other floor. The nurse's office is in between the two rooms with glass windows between the two. It gives more piece of mind knowing they will be able to keep close tabs on him. He now has a full oxygen mask, rather than the smaller things going into his nose. This has already made a difference in oxygen levels, since he breathes through his mouth a lot when he is sleeping. He sleeps a lot, but when he's awake, he knows what is going on and can give feedback on how he's feeling. Good news, he was able to have a BM, relieving the blockage in his stomach. He is resting comfortably.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your Dad and the leukemia. Will certainly keep him and all of you in my prayers from here in NY. Sure sounds like he is a trooper though, and I am sure he will be blessed. Positive attitude accounts for so much in the healing process and Perry and your family always seemed to be filled with that, as with such faith. :)
Lots of love,
