That was annoying!!!

I am so annoyed this morning, first of all I have been trying since 8:30 to get the updates posted but my stupid computer is crapping out on me. I need a new computer so bad! Every time I went to add a picture my computer would freeze and then it would shut down and would loose everything I typed....GGGRRRRR! I think I am finally getting it to cooperate so I will hurry and write the important stuff. This morning Dad got up and had his shower. While he was in the shower he accidentally pulled out his feeding tube. They had to do an x-ray to see if the tube was pulled out to far. If it was they would have to go through the procedure of putting a new one in. Luckily it was OK. No need for a new one. He will be with his feeding tube for at least 7 more days it looks like. When he was done with all of that he went back to his room to relax and read his paper.  He's looking pretty good, don't you agree?

Diva the therapy dog was brought in to lift Dad's spirits. It helped a lot for him to be able to snuggle up to her for a bit. He misses his dog so bad!! He got really emotional when he saw Diva. The Dr's and Nurses told Mom that she could bring Doc in for a visit. Dad is so excited!! Right now Doc is at the groomers getting all prettied up!
   
Diva even has her own card. She gave it to Dad so he can call her anytime he wants to visit with her. What a sweet dog!


Today we have a bit of a set-back.They can't seem to get Dad's blood pressure to come down. He is not allowed to do any therapy until it decreases. It is currently at 208/183. They have been giving him a bunch of med's to try to figure out what will work best for him but so far nothing is working. Until they can get it under control, no therapy.

Other then that Dad is doing good. He is so ready to be out of the hospital so not being able to start therapy was a blow to him but he will get there........
