I am posting this from my Blackberry, not sure how it will work. The hospital's free internet service is not working (how dare they!) So I have not been able to post since last Thursday. After another bumpy ride late last week and into the weekend, Parker has stabilzed somewhat. For now. Don't jinx it please. We made two steps forward and one back, had fevers, high heart rate, BP, the works. All is quiet now. The BEST news is that we can now read Parker's lips pretty well. That, and he has decided to "make himself well" and has requested oral pain meds as his version of progress toward getting out of ICU. As sweet as that is, his stomach still won't allow it. But just the fact that he understands what has to happen in order to be moved to Intermediate Care is wonderful news.
His boss Dustin came by for a visit, which did wonders for his spirits. He now has hand made cards and notes on his wall where he can see them.
He was happy to learn a 50 to 1 shot won the Derby, but very unsettled to realize he has been hospitalized for almost two months.
I will post more about the events of last week (which prve that a patient MUST have their own advocate to speak for them!) As soon as the techs here get the internet working. I told John to go take care of it for them but they won't allow it.
Thank you so much to all of you who have helped make it financially possible for me to continue to stay by Parker's side. I am so touched by your generosity, and so grateful.
More later.
