Movin ooon up! Toooo a private roooom! To a deLUX, single bed hospital room on the 9th floor! Haha
We are out of the ICU! Dad moved yesterday afternoon to a step down area on the 9th floor. He initially had to share a room (and we all know how well Dad does with that!) but he eventually was able to move to a single room last night. Austin and my aunts, Nancy and Cheryl, stayed with mom last night - things are going well. Canaan hopes to make a visit today too.
It seems like the plan will be to keep Dad in the hospital for another 4 or 5 days to make sure the blood thinners are working and to transition him to blood thinners he will take at home. His appitite and taste buds are still pretty out of wack from the last few radiation treatments, but he did have some tea, a spite and some small snacks yesterday that he said tasted OK....so hopefully those symtoms continue to improve too over this next week.
Thank you all again for the prayers - keep them flowing in hopes Dad will continue to improve in this positive direction.
Thanks again!
So glad to hear you have moved from the ICU! We will continue to pray for you, Mr. Strieker. It sounds like you have a wonderful support system taking good care of you there. We'll be thinking of you and your family.
