Hi all. I just got home. I truly needed a break and some rest. I spoke to the doctor this morning. I asked her straight up, between you and me, will he be going home? She said probably not. I asked her how long she thought he may have. She said "days to weeks".
He was kind of awake and talking yesterday. His vitals were good until he got agitated then they weren't. The others (sis and mom in law) thought being awake means "doing better". Today, he kinda was awake, but quite agitated. Although they had taken him off the sedative last night, he will probably be back on it soon. IV sedative.
I will call mom-in-law tonight for an update, call hospital tomorrow for a doctor update and go from there. His wife wanted me to stay. So far, I have spent several $100 already..... Affording another visit is not really feasible for me. At least not until I HAVE to go. Sigh.
This has brought out a lot of emotions for me. He looks a lot like my husband - they are brothers after all. And just having lost Lyn.... well, it's tough.
But I am okay for now. I will be home for now anyway until I'm not - will keep you all posted. Thank you for your prayers.
