After Dad's Heart Attack

Monday Update

Well - the big thing to report from yesterday was that Dad was moved OUT of ICU into a regular room again. They have him back on the fifth floor since his stomach problems are the main and real reason he went to Sinai in the first place. He is in room 514 this time.

He was approved to move pretty early in the evening - but then transport didn't actually show up until 7:30 pm. At that point Sarah, Katie, Mom and I were all with him and we decided we wouldn't leave until they moved him! We then stuck around until about 8:00.

Once again we will miss our friends in the ICU waiting room - but we are glad to be done with that now!!!

They did the upper GI series for Dad yesterday - finally! A week later! The only thing we know right now is that he has an ulcer (Stuuumack OOoollllser - You Can't Take it With You...) which they are treating with antibiotics. We also know that there is no blockage.

That is it. Dad seems to be in a really good mood - which is great! I wouldn't blame him if he was in a really crotchety mood. With any luck we will have him home in a few days.
