As long as you all want me to post the updates here, I will. I know not everyone is on facebook, so you wouldn't know what was going on any other way.

Bob is now the proud owner of a trach and a PEG feeding tube in the stomach. Although he approved both these surgeries, he was not particularly happy yesterday. He has entered the bored to tears portion of a prolonged hospital stay and his impatience and stubbornness are showing themselves. He is insistent that he can eat and drink and is furious when Kristin and I won't bring him what he wants. We did get permission from the ICU staff to bring him his cell phone so he could text rather than write and he asked to play a game of Yahtzee which they also permitted. But he quickly tired with that minimal activity. The man hasn't had a feeding in a tube since noon on Friday so I imagine he is famished! I hope today brings him some more progress and less disappointment. Meanwhile, Kristin and I are continuing to try to work and go to the hospital. It will be easier once they start some kind of therapy with him, as it will give him something else to do. For security reasons we can't leave his book reader or phone or iPod with him so he is reduced to hours of watching the History Channel and reading. I am hoping he can get out of ICU soon, but his BP has to be stabilized and his little bout of arrhythmia yesterday cannot return!

...ornery.



























...that's a GOOD sign, right?

Good sign that he wants to do more! Prayers for further progress!

How could she not, it was a government job that pays TWICE the salary..Anyone would've up & left!

Sorry I guess I didn't read it all the first time. Twice the salary is hard to beat.

On another note - we decided to buy a new house - this neighborhood is getting kinda old and some not so desirable sorts are starting to creep in - so, I've been up to my eyeballs in boxes - packing!!!! It's ROUGH - I had NO IDEA how much crap we had.................. LOL Anyway - big hugs to all - if you don't hear from for a few days - I'm hanging out with Jimmy Hoffa in my closet!!

Congrats on the new house

Oh Elin I hope he can get of ICU soon...I agree w/Kim that onery can be a good sign? Do you take that as a sign he may be feeling better? Still thinking of you both..I know you mentioned Facebook, if you're on it, and this goes for any of you, here on this thread, let me know, I'll send you my real name.

....just sit by the pool, take a walk over to the flamingo pond, watch the animals, enjoy a great meal at Boma, rock in one of the rocking chairs by the outdoor fire pit,....

I totally agree with this! Both Jambo & Kidani each have great pools, pool bars, animal viewing areas, etc, etc. And the food is great-Sanaa, IMHO is heavenly

 

[kimmar067]

...there are several different activities (one of which you must spot certain animals) and you get an 'animal' bead....you can use them to make a bracelet...

Yeah, they shaved the sheep and everything............. I think the "activity" that was scheduled got replaced by "painting" on shirts.

Congrats on the new house
