Hi family. Just getting home from the hospital. Grandpa had a
decent night. I found he was very restless while sleeping. He got some
good solid sleep in but not for long stretches. His neighbour in his
room was causing some commotion which in turn kept grandpa awake a bit
more.
Grandpa got up to the bathroom once.The nurses are keeping good track of his output but they are happy with how this has been going.
The
nasal gastric tube is still in. It is not draining much more fluid and
the nurse states grandpas abdomen is not as distended and much less firm
which means the gastric tube is doing its job. The doctor wanted the
gastric tube in for approx 24 hours which it has been as of this
morning. Hopefully the doctor will look at removing it today. This will mean
grandpa will need to start drinking on his own.
He
was not in any pain overnight and his vital signs were good. Oxygen
saturation were at 90 % on 1.5 litres of oxygen which is pretty good.
Grandpa had moments of disorientation through-out the night but overall
not to bad. I would be a little confused waking up there too! The nurse
took some more blood work this morning. They will check his kidney
function tests including creatinine. Grandpa is so sick of being in the
hospital though. I really hope we can get him home soon!
Anyways, he was pleased as punch to see Colin and Corine this morning. Hopefully the day goes well!
Love you all,
Cathenia
