He came home Friday & is doing great!  Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, hugs, love, positive energy, & healing light!  I sincerely believe it made a difference!

He was taken to the hospital because he had trouble breathing Saturday night & is still in CCU.  I was lucky to have my stepfather pick me up from Ortley Beach (I was there for the weekend, celebrating my friend’s birthday & wasn’t supposed to come home til Sunday.  It’s about an hour or so away from home), so I can be with my family.  If I couldn’t get home, I’d be a wreck & feel guilty, so I’m glad that I was able to get back the night of the incident to keep my sister company & our dogs calm.

He has congestive heart failure & is on meds to get the fluids out of his lungs & previously swollen feet & ankles (his feet & ankles were swelling before this & we were going to take him to the doctor, but he refused to go).  My sister visited him today & his heartbeat was a bit irregular again, his white blood cell count was up a bit, & he had the 1^st of 2 blood transfusions.  We can tell that he IS feeling a bit better because he gave the nurses a bit of trouble last night.  He was caught trying to get out of bed twice to take a walk (he can’t sit on his ass for long….it runs in the family-just ask my mother LOL).  Surprisingly, he’s not really craving nicotine (he’s been smoking since he was 9), but he really wants COFFEE, but, of course, can’t have any.  Also, he loves his salt, so he’s complaining that the food is bland. 

The nurses & doctors have said that he’s in amazingly good health for an 83-yr.-old, despite the smoking, salt, & caffeine.  Overall, he is in good spirits &, of course, wants to go home.  The nurses love him.

No one is sure when he’s going to be in a regular room or when he’s coming home.  We hope it’s soon.  Please keep him in your prayers.  He told my sister recently that he thinks he’s on his way out & she’s had dreams basically saying the same thing.  We just don’t want him to suffer…About a year ago, my great aunt, his sister, passed away & had congestive heart failure for years (she succumbed to cancer).

Peace & Love,
Denise
