They moved him

Okay...confirmed, Dad was moved to room 309, so he switched from the 4th floor, down to 3rd. Carla went for a visit after work, so we'll watch her blog for an update. Mom is spending the night, i believe. Hope he can rest better tonight and that Mom has a soft chair to sleep in.

I may make a round trip after work tomorrow........hard being so damn far away!

Noon update

I talked to Mom about 30 minutes ago. They are going to move Dad back to the 3rd floor. Not ICU, but down where other COPD patients are. He's tired and hasn't eatten his breakfast, but has drank a milk shake packed full of vitamins. Will check on them in a little while.

Morning check in

i called the nurses station this morning and they said Dad didnt rest too well. He told the nurse that he was tired. They plan to give him stronger meds tonight, so he'll sleep better. The good news is, they moved a monitor in him room, and during the night, each time the nurse checked on him, he was at 90 or above. Although Carla and i can't see the monitor when we are away from the hospital, it makes us both feel better that it is there. He left ICU, which is great, but it feels like we left our security blanket behind....
