I just got off the phone with Daddy. He sounds a lot better today. He said the bruises look better today. They have drained into his cheek bones and he is almost recognizable from his nose up again. They have started him on oral meds and plan to cut his epidural off at noon today. Let’s just say the oral meds were working on his happy little self – LOL. He was joking around and wanted to know what was going on around here. We spoke for about 7 min before hospital personnel came in and he had to go.
He said if the oral meds kept him at a comfortable level of pain and he could get his oxygen up then they would probably send him home later today. However, they want his oxygen at 93% and he is having a hard time keeping the saturation up that high.
Dad did seem a little worried that he wouldn’t be home for our traditional Christmas breakfast. He definitely feels better and is ready to come home. I told him if he had to stay we would be fine and that we would all have Christmas one way or another. He said it wouldn’t be the same but I was quick to remind him that it beat the alternative of not having him here at all if he had died in the accident. He said he had thought about that several times too. I know it will hurt his feelings if he can’t be home though.
Please continue to pray for him and that everything will work out. I know what is meant to be will be and we will all deal with it but just having Daddy home for Christmas would be the best present I have ever been given.
