So, the surgeon allowed Dan to have clear liquids today. What? That wasn't supposed to happen until day 4 or 5. Dan was thrilled to be able to drink some water, but quickly discovered that ice water has the tendency to make your stomach cramp up. Bummer. He's taking things very slowly where food is concerned.
I spoke to the nurse a short time ago and Dan's labs seem to be holding steady. No great improvement, but no discouraging trends either. We'll need to see how tonight and tomorrow morning's labs look to make sure everything is alright.
It seems as though Dan's fever is back, but no one seems very worried about it. Apparently, younger patients with this surgery get fevers frequently. Just makes Dan miserable.
Oh, and the nurse and housekeeper are trying to find me a sleeper chair. It would be lovely!
Prayer Requests:
* Fever and cramping go away
* Labs continue to improve or stabilize
* No more complications (bleeding, infections, etc)
* Endurance for Dan to keep moving
