Today, Howard was resting well on his new air bed. The new mattress puts less friction and stress on his skin, hopefully making him more comfortable. He was able to stay awake a little longer today, but continues to have trouble focusing long enough to interact with his nurse or family members. I can tell he is trying to communicate and one day soon, he'll be successful!
Still no date set for the surgery on his feet. But we are encouraged that he is no longer on IV drug doses, but every 4 hours they actually crush up pills in water and inject the liquid into his feeding tube.
Tomorrow is a new day. Thank you for your prayers and concern.
Mom, you are so techie!!! I'm so glad you have an easy way to keep in touch with all those wonderful friends and family that are concerned without spending hours on the phone or sending emails until midnight! I bet Dad won't believe that he was the inspiration behind our family blogging! I am so glad you are taking good care of yourself, so you can be with Dad.
