Friday Evening

Hello again after another long day. Things are for the most part still going well. They were able to remove the catheter today and start my dad back on some food. He was also up and walking around some as well. His appetite was huge, but the food didn't end up sitting very well on his stomach, and has caused him some discomfort. He probably ate a little too much too soon. His blood pressure fluctuates, but still remains on the high side. We are hoping that it will settle down by tomorrow. He is tired and sore, but all in all he is doing OK. He kicked us out early tonight so that he could get some good rest with an eye toward us bringing him home tomorrow. We're keeping our fingers crossed that he can get home where he will be more at ease and comfortable! ~Tami and family
