They've had him up in a chair twice today, and say that he's doing great. He's been bugging the nurses for a pepsi (which he can't have yet) and acting like himself, making jokes and carrying on.
I'm going to try to get some sleep tonight and I'm headed back over there first thing in the morning. Thank you all so much for your prayers and vibes, it really does mean SO much to me.
Alycia, thanks for updating everyone, and for being there for me. Hopefully I'll get to slow down soon and we can talk.Love ya girl.
He really is!Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
That's great news! It's remarkable for him to have his spirits back so quickly after such major surgery. He must be quite a guy!
I wish they could be together too, it would probably do them both some good.Originally Posted by Bella713
That is so great...A good sense of humor goes a long wayI know my Dad is known for being the jokester in the Chemo roomToo bad they couldn't be in the same place together maybe they would crack each other upContinued prayers for your Grandpa

Thank you all again for the prayers and vibes, I told him the "crazy cat ladies" were praying for him and that gave him a chuckle.
We thought he was going to get a room today, but his pain medicine is making him sick to his stomach so he was sick until about noon. They wanted to wait to see if he was sick tonight before moving so hopefully we'll get out of the ICU tomorrow. Other than being sick this morning, and having hiccups almost all day he's still doing pretty well. He's frustrated about still being in the ICU, but doing ok.
He hasn't been on pain meds since noon, since they were making him sick and he hasn't had a whole lot of pain so I guess he's doing as well as could be expected.
Thanks again for all of your prayers, you really have no idea how much it means to me.
