Harry....another slight improvement

Post by Carol Arnett »

Hi Folks,

I talked to Harry` nurse this morning. The slight improvement is the fact that she heard a couple of bowel sounds. She was going to give him a suppository this morning to try for more stimulation. She is also going to clamp off his NG tube for a period then open it again and see just what the flow is.

His BP is steady and his heart rate still in the 90`s. He is also in Atrial fibrilation. I understand that in a normal person that happens and you don`t even realize it but with his 22 year cardiac history, they are concerned about it. Both his heart rate and BP are still being regulated by IV meds.


thank you all again for your prayers and concern. Love, Carol

Any improvement is good news!
I think most of us here would willingly lend Harry our intestines if we could , then no need for a suppository. Hoping to hear that the suppository worked and has given him some relief!

Always in my thoughts and prayers!

Love
Dee~~~

Baby steps are still steps.

Thank you so much for keeping us updated on his condition.

Hoping (at least) for baby steps every day.
