end of the week

Good evening,
I just wanted to let you know that the time it says I am blogging on are incorrect. The correct time is almost 7:00 p.m.
After Dad received some fluids he looks better. His blood pressure was 77/45 when he got to the hospital on Wednesday. His Dr.'s took him totally off all his high blood pressure meds. He got up 1 time today into his wheelchair, he says tomorrow he will do it more. He likes to say later or tomorrow. We have enjoyed the lasagna for a few meals and tonight we had a wonderful homemade vegetable soup made by some dear friends of Gregg's and mine, Joie and Steve (former co-workers with me) Dad had a good bath today by his aide. his appetite slightly better. He is not eating much, but at least he is comsuming solid foods. On Monday his nurse will be drawing some blood for his Oncologist. She also said that he may get dehydrated again. When you are just laying around even if you are drinking fluids your body uses up a lot of energy. If he goes to the hospital for IV's that is beter than going to the hospital and staying. We need to remind him to roll and move onto his sides. He does not want to develop bed sores. The nurse said that bed sores begin from the inside out and by the time they appear it is too late. His ankles are already sore and the aide put little booties on him. Hopefully that is all it is. Hope the weekend goes well. I'll blog again Monday unless something comes up. Blessings, Michelle
