Bob is sleeping this afternoon as the doctors consult about his PFO, a hole in the heart that allowed the bad guys to get through. We did learn this am that the PFO is larger than that of most people.
He had a great night's sleep. He ate a regular breakfast (without salt and butter) with his own two hands sitting in a chair in his ICU room, getting to the chair with help from the nurse. That was a beautiful sight for me. He sat up all morning and we talked and talked and found out in those conversations he knew nothing about the second stroke and its impact on his body. He is processing all of that .
The cardiologist arrived just now after the consult. The two doctors highly recommend the repair of the hole in his heart. That will be about 8 weeks out from now so that his body can recover. His eyesight is still doubled and we hope with time it will be normal. The blood pressure, too, is our major concern. He slips into a stroke like state when his BP lowers, which it does on a regular basis.
WE know that we are truly witnessing a miracle. Please continue to pray for us as we are praying for you, dear friends. You are a part of this miracle.
This is cool... like the fishing theme. Looks nice. Somebody knows this computer stuff!! Keep up the posting. Sounds like a great place to be. Is Bob able to eat what he wants, or on a strict diet? Would you like to have some good food delivered or just a gift food card that will buy you whatever sounds good. Can you think of anything we could drop by that you may need? Anything!!!I know you aren't ready for visitors, just please lean on us for support. You need people to help lessen your burdens, and daily needs, so you must let me know. Thanks, love and prayers. -Cindy
