Today is Wednesday June 2nd and Chad is still in the hospital. He had a rough night and a rough morning but is feeling much better now. We are waiting on the results of a CT scan of his brain to make sure there isn't any bleeding. He had the worst headache/migraine he has ever had in his life last night and into this morning. He is finally feeling better due to some strong medicine but his doctor wants to be sure everything is ok. Since he is on the blood thinner and his hemoglobin is low, they seem to want to be extra careful. The good news is his hemoglobin level came up today, it went down to a 7.3 yesterday but is back up to a 7.9 this morning. The power of prayer! His doctor, Dr. May, came in this morning and seemed to agree with the previous doctors Chad saw this weekend that he may benefit from a blood transfusion but he was also willing to wait since his level came up on its own a little. So everything is quiet for the moment. Just waiting...
Chad has made lots of friends while he's been here. All the nurses and staff love him. He has had a couple of nurses that have just not seemed to care but for the most part they've been really great. I can't say enough great things about Roz, Ginny, Sune, Jennifer, and Bryan. When this is all over we plan to do something special to let them know how much we appreciate all they do. They really love their jobs and it shows.
Either Chad's mom or Chad's dad have been here almost everyday. They've been taking turns coming and I am so grateful they can be here as much as they have been. They are so cute the way they are always calling each other when they aren't together. It's so nice to see a couple that has been together as long as they have still so close. It makes a world of difference to have the support and help of family and we couldn't ask for a better one. My Mom dropped everything and jumped right in the car when I needed her last Friday night and my Aunt Pat will be coming to help us soon as well. To know we both have family we can call on for anything, at anytime is really a beautiful thing. We love you all and can't imagine going through this without you.
