Visiting with my dad tonight. He's sitting up in a chair, looking great. He hasn't had any anti-nausea or pain meds for over 24 hours, so he's feeling better. It's nice that he's
back to normal! He got a PICC line today because he's receiving a
medication (Amiodarone) which is caustic in small veins (like in the
hand). Instead of moving his IV site every day, the PICC will deliver
the medication through a catheter which drips the medicine just above
the heart. He still has the chest tube & still has fluid draining.
Other than that, he is feeling very good. Good enough to receive
visitors! So if you want to stop by & say "Hi!", he's in room 346. He was told he will be here until Sunday, at the least, so not everyone needs to come on Thursday :-)
