Visit to Daddy and Grandma & Grandpa Arrive
Today
we beat the rain going down the hill and were able to see daddy. He was
super excited to see all his favorite people after nine days of
waiting in the hospital for results of various biopsy procedures.
Yesterday was the third biopsy and the earliest results will be within
1-3 days. He's a little sore from the biopsy but is doing very well!
He's also very happy on his 2,000 calorie diet they've given him now,
compared to the 1,500 calorie they had him on. They always seem to treat
and feed him better after making him fast for so long before a biopsy.
Emilie is still very hesitant of Scott's IV, which she calls "Pokey,"
and with the new one they've put in his left hand she feels no
different! Emilie will not permit that hand to touch her!
Scott was super happy to see his parents and be able to be with them in person, especially during this crazy time. We thought the room wouldn't be big enough to hold us all, but we were happy that proved not to be the case! Scott's parents, my mom, the kids and I all fit just fine! I did have to sit on hubby's bed, but I wont complain, it's cozy.
We took several walks down the hall, and I was reminded several times how blessed we were. Scott wasn't tied to an IV, blood line and walking down the hall hooked up to an oxygen tank like a fellow patient. Nor is he at fall risk like most people on the same PCU (Progressive Floor Unit, one step up from ICU) floor. He's breathing, walking and able to make all the nurses and doctors smile as he cracks out jokes and makes everyone else's day a better one. He really is the most desired patient to be had! <3
