Day 26: Stanford Hospital

Day 26: Stanford Hospital

This morning a doctor called to let us know that Mark had a gall bladder infection. He explained a procedure they wanted to do by ultra-sound as an operation was too risky right now. Anything they thought was the right thing to do was a blessing to perform ASAP.

Well, this evening we expected to see him asleep & out for the evening, butttttt he was watching a little portable TV and wide-awake. We were so shocked and he was trying to talk but can't with the trach in his throat. So hard for him and we tried not to talk about anything he needed to answer except to nod.

Well, he definitely is our humpty dumpty and Stanford is trying so hard to put him back together again. Kevin and myself are calling him that - I will wait until he is much better before I let him know what we are calling him. Hopefully, the gall bladder procedure will be successful and the white cell count and infections go away.

The surgeries on his legs so far are healing well. He just wants some water so bad and they try to tell him he is getting food and water thru his tube but yeah! Thanks alot!

I'm sure the doctors will all be around tomorrow to give him a thorough going over.

Let's hope it is all good!
Hugs, Tal & Donna
