Dad's Update...

Dad's cheerful & getting better each day though it seems a long way to go.. He's on liquids and should move to soft meals from tomorrow hopefully bidding goodbye to paralytic ileus.. He's been sitting a lot more and should hopefully start walking from tomorrow.. 
Kitty & Vijay dropped by in the evening and so did Shuchi..
I spoke with Dr Campbell who confirmed that progress was good and the coming week should be decisive in determining the success of the surgery with regards to his well being ..

Dad's Update..

It's good news as Dad seems to be on the mend. His nasal drainage tube has been removed. He was cheerful and read the news on my ipad. He also sat for a couple of hours this morning. Lets hope the afternoon visit goes well.

Dad's Surgery Update..

Dad's moved out of High Dependency Unit to A6A in a private room and is getting better. He had a shower today and sat for a couple of hours. Bowels and urinary tract are working fine but he's still on TPN liquid diet and lipids and maintenance. His nasal drain line will be removed over the weekend if all is well. hope the weekend goes well!

Dad's Surgery Update..

Dad's bowel movement has started again. He's done a bit of walking in the room and sat down for a couple of hours. He's still on liquid iv food and I think that will continue for a bit. The doctors are happy with his progress. He's complaining of tummy aches and has needed a few shots of morphine but was generally cheerful all day.
