Gym and library this morning. I left here around 11 to meet my friend Betsy for lunch then on to the hospital to visit Bob. He was pretty much the same as yesterday. Sitting in the reclining chair sleeping. He knew me when I walked in but kept going back to sleep. The nutritionist came in while I was there just to check on him and ask about how he was eating during his stay up on 5th and 6th floors. They are not ready to start feeding him solid food yet but will once they know he can swallow and eat.<\/p>\n
The doctor came by and said he looked great. They have dialed down the pump to a five. From a comment I saw posted on Bob’s page today I will mention that the pumps can stay in for two weeks. If at that point the heart is not beating on its own they will transfer him to Duke for a permanent pump.\u00a0 Let’s hope they do not have to do that.\u00a0They did take out one chest tube this morning.<\/p>\n
I stayed about half an hour then came on home. He is not capable of carrying on a conversation right now so all I am doing is sitting there looking at him, his machines, and all his tubes which is hard for me. He needs his rest right now and not have to use his energy to try and converse with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
