Dad was moved from ICU to HDU on Friday noon, and then from HDU to the general ward on Saturday noon. He was taken off all intravenous medication by Saturday and by today (Sunday) he was much improved - more like his old self, not confused and zoned out any more. His wounds - the leg wound where they extracted the vein (running from mid-thigh to ankle) and the chest wound (where they did the actual bypass) have healed beautifully. Almost a work of art!
The surgeon (a good friend of my brother's) has said that Dad should be out and able to go home by Wednesday... which is GREAT news!!!
In the meantime, anyone wanting to visit, the visiting hours at IJN are:
- 12.30pm to 2.00pm
- 4.30pm to 8.00pm
He is in the Bunga Raya Ward, 5th floor, Bed 12A. Just try not to tire him out too much, as he IS still recovering from what is, really, a very major operation!
Mum stayed the night at the hospital last night, and again tonight. I will pick her up in the morning and take her home so she can shower and have a rest before going back to the hospital again. For all my Dad grumbles about my Mum being over-protective and 'nagging' him to eat and drink, he is quite lost without her!
Thank you all, for your prayers and your good wishes. It means the world to all of us.
