Most of us had a hard time coming up with a 'mantra' yesterday. How about at least one "ta-da" today?
Talked just a bit with dh last evening. (Dsonil had taken a charger into the hospital for his phone). He's still on IV and naturally has had nothing to eat or drink. But the bathroom trips are many to eliminate all the fluid from IV's. Dr. had an interesting take on this attack. He seems to think that all these attacks dh has had over the years may well be an obstruction from time to time and not his Barrett's Esophagus at all. I'd say it's way past time for them to find out for sure. Know he's had these same kind of attacks for over 10 years. Almost sounds like where there's scar tissue from his appendectomy well over a half century ago could well be the cause. Know he would be glad to undergo the knife it would end these episodes.
Dh did get to see dgd23 yesterday a couple of times. His nurses let him walk (with his IV) over to the floor where dgd was working. She saw him coming down the hall and just ran to him in a full out hug. Sure that did him more good than any medicine. She came in and had lunch with him (well, she ate -he did not).
DD is getting fully anxious to fly up home on Thursday. Once she gets there, has to pick up their car at the campground (dsonil is using a company car) and head to Orchard Park to sign papers for their new camper. Should take her about an hour and a half to get there via the New York State Thruway. Forecast for the days shes's there -RAIN and more RAIN. So they'll be emptying the motor home and then loading and settling their new RV in the RAIN. Sounds like fun!
Sunny, guess the group your dgd was with DID do very well, indeed! Looked at the article.
