SUNDAY - DAY 3

The doctor was in this morning - said Ron looked really good for someone who just had a liver transplant.  They still aren't terribly happy with his blood test results - and hopefully the liver will begin to participate fully within the next few days.  They plan to put him on a liquid diet tommorow - YAY!  Ron's coloring is great - pink as can be! 

Last night was rough for him - lots of pain - they gave him oxycodone which totally wiped him out - this morning they changed his pain meds to morphine.  He slept most of the morning - a cup of ice every two hours - he much less thirsty today.

They haven't gotten him up on his feet yet - that was supposed to happen yesterday....hopefully PT will get on the ball tomorrow.

He's feeling pretty good (in spurts) - talked on the phone a couple of times today for just a few minutes.

  1. Pink! Such a beautiful color.

    Glad to know that Ron is having spurts of feeling good.

    When my mom had a stroke a few years ago our family found that on the weekends she never got her physical therapy. Not sure what the problem was...maybe the staff has weekends off...which would make me mad, because the folks trying to get well didn't get days off!

    Keeping you in my prayers.
