peebygeeby Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi everybody, Today is a good day indeed. The doctor read the chest x-ray taken yesterday and today told us that there is a very significant improvement and it's encouraging. I realize that within the big picture meaning the inevitable outcome of this situation, this is not anything to be partying about, but, being that I have spent the better part of the last few weeks wondering if he would ever come home again. ...... I am very happy. Hank feels that he is breathing some what better, he is finally coughing up some of that gunk! He was up for his walk today, made him very tired, but wants to do it again later. We are still looking at Friday for a possible release from the hospital, but I don't want them to let him go until he is truly ready. The last time he was in the hospital he was home for only five days and then had to go right back in. We do not want to repeat that. WAY TO GO HANK!!!! Thanx guys, Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleHammett Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 HURRAH!!!!!!!!! I am so glad to hear Hank's doing better, Gail. And yes, I do realize that this is short term, but comfort care is what it's all about--regardless of whether we're talking short or long term. I am so happy for the two of you that I could burst! Way to go!

SandraL Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 That is so great to hear Gail. Hank is a real trooper and you are as well. I hope he gets well enough to go home soon, but I agree, don't push it and then maybe when he gets home it will be for a very long time. Take good care Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
