Sleeping Beauty

Hello there,

Dad is still out. The optomotrist lady came and taped the right eye so it would stay shut and not get infected. He didn't even notice. The residents came in and talked to mom. They said that there is some sort of obstruction in his intestines (they called it ilius) and that is why his stomach is distended (pregnant). They do not know what the obstruction is for sure right now. They are giving him medicine to help all of that stuff that is just sitting in his stomach move on through. Hopefully it will work and the problem will get better. Lets see, what else? His incision looks good - its big and goes from about the top of his ear down to his neck. They still have gauze on the bottom part so I am not sure how far it goes in the back of his head. He is on a lot of pain medication and still heavily sedated. He coughed a little bit ago and the nurse had to come suction. It looks so painful when they suction down his tube. They suction his mouth out too to make sure that the saliva and stuff in his throat doesn't go into his belly. I am hoping maybe he's so sedated that he won't remember the pain. It is hard to know what to do for him. Right now it feels like we are just sitting and waiting. I do get excited every time there is a new follower though and I enjoy your comments. Bucky, Melody, and Buster are still here with us. We are just hoping and praying for some good news soon!

Thanks for thinking of us!

Love,
Cejae & family

  4. You are helping by keeping us in your prayers. Sitting and waiting is very difficult but it really does help to know that so many people care! Love you Bammer!
