Update on Dad

At lunch I got a call from Florence, she went up to help Dad with lunch and ICU was totally full and no Dad, she got concerned and the nurse quickly told her that he was doing better and they needed the beds so they moved him to the ward. PHEW! I told her I was sending a card to her to take up to him and she said who knows maybe he’ll be outta there by the weekend too!!! I hope not.

Anyways she went to the ward but was told she could not stay and had to leave and come back at 2:00 for visiting hours. So Dad told her to go home and bring his own PJs as the nurses said he could have his own if he had two sets so that’s next and also he has a phone so he wants his phone list from home too!!! Orders left right and centre but she said in a nice way so that was okay with her. You could tell she was doing better too by her voice but she's got bronchitis so this running around is not helping her.

Well tonight I called him and chatted briefly but he sounded very tired and said he was worse than this morning - hmmmm - maybe talking too much on the phone!!! Anyways Florence was sent back to his apartment again to get his razor - he needed to shave!!! Then was dissappointed that Wayne did not come with her so asked Florence to shave him - chuckling at that one! I give her credit, she tried but he was not happy with her gentle efforts and took over, then cleaned it and the sink up and she helped him back to bed - he was pooped.

Florence said he is not worse, just maybe tired as he was up walking today, first time since Monday.
