I wish that I could have updated yesterday with something like "Good news! Dad's home!" and in fact I was expecting to be able to do just that. But I can't, because he's not.
They kept him yesterday and over night and now the word is that he MAY be able to go home today. He is feeling good and the distended bowel problem seems to be "fixed." They are still working on getting his coumadin level exactly right. He is on a full regular diet now, but he has lost a lot of weight in the last week. (It's not exactly the best weight loss plan in the world.) He has seen a physical therapist daily and has continued to walk around to keep the healing progress on his hip moving forward.
I have my fingers crossed that the next update really will include the words "Dad's home!"
