Check out my Halloween gift to Mayo Hospital at www.debsturntoblog.blogspot.com. Dan told everyone he was a munchkin for Halloween (as in Wizard of Oz). It was fun. I did see a funny costume in the store today, a blind referee - black and white striped shirt, dark glasses, and a white cane. Pretty funny.
Plans are still in the works for Dan to be discharged on Tuesday, however a few more blips have come up since yesterday. Dan's bladder is still having a hard time and the doctors ordered several catheterizations a day to empty the bladder, a painful procedure, and he needs to drink at least 4-20oz. bottles of water a day, not to mention his 5-8oz. bottles of Ensure a day.
Dan also now has a urinary track infection and he is on antibiotics (Keflex tablets) and they did an extensive ultrasound today on his kidneys and bladder. Dan is scheduled for a large number of lab tests tomorrow, the liver doctors want to follow up on everything.
We look forward to a visit tomorrow from Dennie and Bev Little, and Ted and Matthew Stout. I've already reserved the activity room in rehab for the visit, we expect lots of rowdy laughter and plenty of craziness with these dear friends from our Mililani ohana, although the Littles recently moved to Las Vegas, they will always be ohana to us. Ted and Matt have been visiting family in Tucson.
What a joy and major surprise it was to have Jane Bishop and Jeri Boland visit us at the hospital yesterday. Jane is with the North American Mission Board in Atlanta and she and Jeri visit Hawaii every year to help with our Wives in Ministry Retreat every April, and they have become dear friends and have faithfully prayed for us at Mayo. They happened to be in town for the weekend and were so thoughtful to spend part of their "girls weekend" visiting us. Thanks, ladies, for the smiles and joy; and thanks, Father, for nudging them to visit us.
How great is our God!
Debbie and Dan
