Dad is back in bed now. He really wants something to eat and drink. He keeps asking for his mouth to be swabbed. He doesn't like it when I do it because I don't get enough water on it because I'm afraid to give it to him since he can't swallow. He likes when Bucky and mom do it because they give him more water. He told me to be "more forgiving" with it, but I just let them do it.
The residents came in and said he looked good. He told them thank you. He called one of the residents Cowboy. There were two men and a woman, so then he called them the cowboys and a maverick. He's really funny. They put a contact in his right eye to bandage it because it is very dry. The nurse told us she was heart sick. He told her he loved her and told her he'd give her a hug. He told us to leave because we look tired, but he was also concerned about when we would be back. He does not seem to be in pain right now. If we could figure this stomach stuff out maybe we could get out of ICU. He is still breathing on his own. He is acting like dad. We are so grateful!
We are up to 71 people on here. I know there are even more that are reading and just haven't joined. I think dad likes the idea of a blog, but I am not sure he fully understands just how many people are reading and praying and wondering about him. Thanks to all! More later.
Love,
Cejae

ReplyDeleteSo glad things are going better. Everyone at work has been asking about John. I am keeping them informed thanks to Cejae. Sounds like John is getting back to his great sense of humor.

Thank you so much for your comments. I can't wait until Dad can read this blog himself and see how much everyone cares about him. To quote the Bible and a line used in one of my favorite movies, Hope Floats, "My cup runneth over." Truly, we are so thankful for our family and friends so we don't have to go through this alone. I know my dad appreciates it so much and hopefully soon he can tell you all himself.
