Busy, busy
Goodness, time just seems to be speeding by! Friday night Ryan got home about 8:00. It was so good to see him and to be able to give him a big hug! We visited and played some cards and then by the time we were ready to be heading to bed he was ready to head out. That is the problem with having someone here who is from 2 time zones away. So he went out with a couple of his buddies for awhile.
Saturday morning we headed out to Virden to visit my Dad. Crystal had to work so she came out later in the afternoon. Dad sure was surprised to see Ryan and it did seem to perk him up a bit. We had a good visit with Dad, who was looking pretty good. He was off all IV etc and was hoping to get home on Sunday. We visited with him till late afternoon and then we went and had supper with some very good friends of ours and spent the evening visiting with them.
Sunday morning we got up and all went to the Mother's Day Brunch and were able to visitn with a few people there that we know. The brunch was good as was the visiting. We left the hall and I stopped in at the hospital to see if they had determined whether Dad would be getting or not. I talked with his nurse and she said that he wouldn't e going anywhere for at least a few days as he had had a very bad night. He had started throwing up through the night and they had to get that settled down first. I just totally don't agree with the way the feed patients who have been sick. His first meal was a hamburger! What happened to a couple of nice light meals to get your system kick started again! So, after talking to the nurse we went back to Dad's house and I did up a bunch of laundry and Gary ran the vacuum through the whole house and we just did a general tidy up so it is all ready for him when he gets home. We went up and visited with him in the afternoon and he wasn't looking too bad, but you could tell he was really fighting nausea the whole time. He wanted a few things from the house, since he was going to be staying longer so we went and got those for him and packed up our stuff and then went to say goodbye to him. He sure did have a hard time saying goodbye to Ryan, it was a pretty emotional time for them both! I was happy to hear Ryan tell him that he would be back on Thursday if only for a little visit. (that is the day Gary is going out the get our trailer and take it to the campground)
Talked to Aunt Evie last night and she said that Dad had had a rough night Sunday and a rough day Monday. They are only giving him fluids and they are encouraging him to drink as much as he can even though he is throwing it up. They did start him on Gravol yesterday and he had said that that seemed to be settling things down some. So, fingers crossed that maybe this will help and he can to start feel a little more like himself.
