New for Monday

Dad is now completely off the blood pressure support medicine. They gave him some red blood cells, too. His vital signs continue to look good and steady. Today's nurse said they will start the ventilator weening tomorrow and that he was at "minimal" sedation.

While I was there, he appeared to be sleeping so I let him rest rather than try to stir him. They are playing his radio for him, which I know he enjoys when at home.

  1. Bob - would he enjoy some music on CDs? You could rip them to his ipod if he would rather. I have some stuff I think he would like.

  2. Bill, I think Dad's doing OK with the radio. He can always flop between the talk and classical music flavors. I think his iPod would be either his computer or a small walkman-like cassette radio. He said he didn't want his glasses at this point.
