These are todays pics of jerrys incision. just staples. im surprised i thought for sure hed have been one huge bruise! Today jerry was sleepy, wanted to be left alone, but of course, he got no such thing. his respirations were still up and his blood pressure too. his fingers are a bit swollen. his bloodsugar was reading 112 then 114 then 122 she bumped them up then he read a few in the low 80's and she bumped it back down. he walked and sat up for a bit yesterday, well today a not so aggressive nurse let him get by for an hour before getting himup and we had him sitting up for 2 hours! the occupational therapist came in and asked him to walk to bathroom(which she let him out of since he had been sitting up for 2 hrs. but will not let him out of tomorrow~) and to wash face, hands, and to lift arms and clench and unclench fists. it took lots of coaxing as he just wanted to sleep. he also has a breathing apparatus that you use to increase breaths. depths of them that is. He was on oxygen , that came off today too. sating at 95% on his own. we found out that most surgeries of this type the lower lungs collapse so we have to get him moving so he wont get pneumonia. hopefully the pics i took today will come thru. i hope i can get them on here. We also got a scare about kathleen an tech misread the scan and told her she had a cyst. scared her and had her depressed. HE was WRONG! guess it pays to check with a DOC first! she seems to be doing much better!
