Hubby had a 2nd surgery yesterday, it was to repair a leak he had when he swallowed. We got about 20 inches of snow last night, I was stuck at the hospital. But I think it was good for hubby, he slept better than he has in 2 weeks and he felt much better today. Might have to make that an every Friday night thing until he can come home.

My eating hasn't been a hasn't been a high priority, but I've been making sure to select foods that give me the most nutrition for my calories. I've lost about 4 or 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks, but I think it's from all the stress.

Got the biopsy results this morning. 14 of the lymph nodes they removed tested positive for cancer. Not the news we were praying for.

Hubby said he is doing ok today. Doctors were in & said things are progressing well. He got a little sleep last night, taking the drain tubes out helps a lot with his comfort and sleep.

Hubby was up & took a short walk today. Moved him from ICU to a step down unit. Removed the chest drain tubes & his catheter. Made steps in the right direction, it was a good day

Hubby had a bad day on Sunday, 1/31/10. Heart rate was all over the place, blood pressures weren't much better, fluid on his lungs. Was told this is normal by his sister, our family RN.
