Dad's Accident
Well I don't really have too much new information. I spent most of my day trying to work it out to get a flight to Asheville so the boys could get back to work without feeling like they are leaving mom alone. I wasn't able to get that worked out but Matthew will be there this weekend and Steve back there Sunday night. They say he will be in Asheville hospital at least thru Monday and that they won't really get an update from the doctors on what is next until then. His next move will probably be to a rehab center, just not sure where yet.
What they are working on right now is getting dad's medications worked out to where his pain is reduced without keeping him so sedated. He doesn't stay awake and will fall back to sleep midsentence at this time. What he says isn't making much sense either. Like he asked where Cliff went? Or who had surgery?? He asked mom to wake the little people up as it was time to go while I was on the phone with her. Then he said he needed to go check the bid on the Home Depot job and said he was ready to go.. stuff like that. She attributes it to the heavy medication.
Mom is there with him thru the night and one of the boys during the day to make sure he doesn't pull off his oxygen or pull at his staples, things like that. To help him try to eat a bit or get a drink. Mom says they are trying to keep him coughing and breathing deep to keep his lungs dry as if he takes off his O2 that he develops a temperature.
Also Mom said to thank everyone for calls and emails that she has received but not had a chance to reply to and for all the thoughts and prayers. She and Dad send their love..
If you have any questions or anything let me know and I will try and find out.
