Just visited dad at the hospital. Though it is me still encouraging and feeding him he is eating more.
Lunch he had steak and onion pie and most of it apart from the thick crust where the pie is in the pie dish. Followed by a banana I brought in with a bought trifle which is about 350 calories in total. So with food supplement they gave him as well be must be up to about 900 calories including drinks today. So tonight need to try to get at least 400 - 500 calories in him plus hopefully another food supplement.
He was in the chair and hopefully will be able to do some physio this afternoon on his mobility. I will be visiting again about 5.00pm UK time.
Prayers at this stage that he will be able to stand being in the chair for about 4 - 5 hours a day in total and be awake and alert enough for physio at least once a day. Also that he will sleep better and continue to eat as much each day.
Sleep is still a problem with him not really going off to sleep until the early hours and then sleeping through breakfast and the early drug run. So this is still not ideal.
Once again many thanks for your prayers/thoughts and support
Love
Eleanor
Praying about the things you mentioned, snugs.

Praying that y’all don’t get that awful stuff. God bless.
Prayers said and also for you to have the strength you need
to support and care for your dear Dad.
Please get rest when you can...you clearly need it! (((hugs)))
Prayers continue for your dad’s strength, proper calorie intake and healing, snugs. I pray you also have strength, rest and comfort.
