Dorothea is doing fine this morning. She is having a dialysis procedure early this morning, and is still on the ventilator. They are planning to remove her chest drainage tube (from the by-pass surgery) sometime today.
Last night the nurse called Harold at home and asked him to come back up to the hospital. Dorothea was insisting that he come up to the hospital and take her home. She says this from time to time - but this was different. Harold stayed with her, holding her hand, and reassuring her for a long time. Every time he told her he was going to go home her lips started quivering. I cannot imagine how difficult yesterday afternoon and evening was for my parents. Sometimes she does not remember what happened the day before - but this time she does. Scary day for everyone. It felt so good to come in this morning and have her alert and talking and feeling well.
As always, please keep the prayers coming for both Dorothea and Harold.
