Still in hospital!

Robert is still in the hospital.  Sorry we have not updated, but I could not get internet access at the hospital.  They have been giving Robert coumadin and another blood thinner, not sure the name.  They need to get his blood at a 2.0 or higher and as of this morning it was 1.68.  He was hoping to come home by now. 

Cassie spent the weekend with her Dad and I can not thank her enough for the break.  Robert really enjoyed the time with her and she took really good care of him. Sandi and my cousin Greg and his wife Heidi had planned on being at Sandi's last weekend, and with Cassie staying with Robert I was able to go ahead with our plans and spend the weekend with them.  It was a wonderful weekend and they just do not know how much I needed the break.

Robert is still having quite a bit of pain, but they are managing it better in the hospital than we can at home, so with the stronger pain meds., Robert is able to eat better.  Robert is suppose to see his ENT tomorrow, and they do not want him to miss the appointment.  They are suppose to release him to go to the follow-up, or that was the last word we heard.  Robert has seen 4 different doctors since he has been at Paris Regional, and seems they all have different opinions on his care and when he can be released.  Robert is very anxious to see his ENT, the stitches inside and outside need to be taken out, Robert can not open his mouth very wide, but he feels that he has an ulcer where they have put in the plate.  That is why it is really important that he makes the apt. tomorrow.  I came home this evening and if all goes well I will pick him up in the morning and we will head to Baylor.  Robert has not been able to read your comments, but when he comes home he will get on here and read them.  Thanks so much.  Love, Judy
