We made it to Houston this evening. We’re all checked in the hotel had dinner a just chilling out now. The surgery is at 3 tomorrow afternoon but we have to be at the hospital just after lunch. We’re staying in our usual hotel, just a block away from the hospital, but not the same type…

Amanda has been doing good, she’s getting better and better. She’s been up moving and doing more on her own. Well it took a while and a lot of calls but we were finally able to get the pacemaker interrogated. We didn’t have to go to San Antonio but we’re able to have it done in…

Amanda’s getting better and better everyday. She waking and getting up and around more and more each day. Her shoulder has been hurting her lately to the point where it’s more painful than her surgical site. It hasn’t been as bad today though.  We never did get ahold of the Medtronic rep. I called the…

No big news today Amanda’s doing good still in pain though. Yesterday we tried cutting one of the pain meds down to 1 pill instead of 2 but that just didn’t end up working. I ended up giving her 1 and a half for today. She seems to do better on that for now.Our primary…

Amanda is doing much better today. She’s still weak though, still needing help up and down. Today I had to wean her, she needs to be doing a little more so she can build her strength back up. That hasn’t made me very popular today! The last few times she got in and out of…

Just before we started our discharge we had a new friend stop by to see us. Week before last I l rolled out to Houston with supplies for hurricane Harvey victims. Pastor YJ, a friend Ron, and myself went. We also brought tools and stayed a couple of days to mud out houses. Some would…

For those of you that read the last post just after it was loaded, I’m sorry. I was in a hurry didn’t proof read and autocorrect killed me! Dr. Nair never did drop by last night. When we first began to see him we started off not liking him very much. Not very very good…

Last night went well. They gave Amanda the Dilaudid around 10 or so, she was chatterbox again then lights out. Surprisingly they left us alone from 10 until 4 when Amanda needed pain medicine. They have the toradol on 4 times a day not every 6 hours. So she is scheduled to get that at 9am,…
