There is still some arguing amongst the various medical teams as to which problem to deal with first the stomach or the broken limbs. At present medical is winning as the anesthetist does not want to put him under until the stomach is much flatter and therefore more room in the chest cavity for breathing.
He is back on food so unlikely he will be operated on tomorrow. So I suspect they want to get his bowels working with normal food and drink etc over the weekend to probably think of operating on Monday. I think we will know more when the surgical team visits him today(tomorrow) which could mean another night visit as the doctors were constantly visiting him during the night yesterday.
I'm glad he's doing better with his stomach. Keep us posted. Still praying for both of you.
Wow. I feel so badly for him. How are his spirits? What an ordeal. Are you doing ok? Prayers for both of you, Snugs.
Have the doctors said whether delaying the surgery will do any harm to the bones? I would imagine they want to do it as quickly as they can after they get his digestive problems solved.
snugs, very glad to hear there's some improvement with your Dad's stomach/bowel condition. Sounds like your Drs are working well together. Praying for continued improvement and successful surgery.
Thanks for bringing us the Dose. Don't know how you do it....handling your Dad's situation, working and posting the Dose... thank you, so much. God bless you.
