Monday August 10, 2009 (Day 12)

Not a lot to report today. Sometime last night his O2 level on the Bi-Vent had to be moved back up to 60%. His kidneys are functioning more normally now and he's still getting the lasix to get the unneeded fluid off. We won't know the progress of the wound therapy until tomorrow. So not much improvement and only a tiny step back.

Daddy is a lot more agitated and fidgety today and the nurse told us they had to give him a xanex last night to calm him down. The nurse goes to touch him and he says "no, no, no". He's more disoriented today and seems to just be going stir crazy. Not writing on his board as well today either. He looks like he's conducting an orchestra with the way he's waving his arms around.

I hope to be able to give a better report tomorrow.


Mr. Kingery, we received Mom thought that you may want to read a note that Daddy wrote to somebody on Saturday. We have no idea who he wrote it to and we couldn't get it out of Daddy.

















Just in case you can't read Daddy's handwriting this is what it says:

"YOU SAY YOU HIS BROTHER. I WAS GOING TO ASK HOW MANY TIMES REMOVED
BECAUSE I HAVE ABOUT 2,000 BRO. IN VALLEY, MASONS"

Thanks for the Update Hollie. We will pray he has a better day tomorrow. I am out of town, or I would come by. LeRoy and Family will be in my daily thoughts and prayers. Tell LeRoy David said he was getting rusty on my words and needs some help.
