PawPaw update

Just a quick post to update on my dad. Thanks for the prayers....SO MUCH! He was moved out of ICU this afternoon (a good sign) into a regular room, with no roommate, yay! (he's not real good about sharing TV remotes, LOL!) He had a test this morning where he had to drink some stuff and then they did a catscan or an ultrasound or something of his stomach to see what's causing his pain down there, but the results from that aren't back yet. He'll be in the hospital at LEAST until Tuesday when he has to get a stress test done on his heart. His doctor wants to put in an internal defibrillator because I guess his heartbeat is irregular and it's skipping beats. Dad's fighting us all over this. He's being VERY stubborn about it, as any of you that know ME and how stubborn I can be......uhm......where do ya'll think I get it? :P I think he'll finally cave and let them do it. His heart is enlarged, and that is causing some problems of its own, but I'm not sure if there's anything they can really DO for that, is there? And his blood pressure, while still abnormally low, was up higher than it has been the last couple of days....today it was 119/55 when we visited him, so it's better than it was at least. The cellulitis seems to slowly be going away....they outlined it on his leg with a sharpie (very high tech solution I thought!) and the area is smaller, so that's progress. But he's not going anywhere for several more days.....which is driving him batty. He looked really good though.....he's lost some of the weight he'd started to put back on.....Matthew wanted to know why his legs were so skinny! But we've seen him look MUCH worse, if that means anything?? So on behalf of the Caudles, thanks for the prayers and please keep them coming! I'll post more when I know more.....
