Matt was able to stay with Abby today while I went home to visit my dad. It's really hard for me to be away when he is sick, and I had a lot of concerns. I was able to get a lot of the questions I had regarding his care answered. I took a lot of notes during our discussions with the doctor and respiratory therapist, then texted those notes to my mom and sister so that we all had the same information! I pressed the doctor for a plan (I like plans instead of the "wait and see" method of healthcare!) and was satisfied with what he laid out. The good news is that Nurse Julie successfully got his oxygen turned down and a portable rank for him so that he could get up and walk! I'm pretty sure the staff has me on their list. I might be blocked by security the next time I try to visit. (No, seriously, I was very sweet and had no reason to even raise my voice!). But this is my DAD! I have got to make sure he is okay, and I'm the one with enough me...
Choosing joy and trusting God!
