Hospital - Day Six and Seven

The plan was to be discharged and go to the hotel today but plans change. Yesterday was a moderately bad day for Chad due to back-up. Things stopped moving how they should and as of this morning, we were on day two without a decent bowel movement. The doctors considered this a minor set-back and wanted to keep him for another day.

There was some success this afternoon but he's back to being in pain. God willing, things work themselves out over night because as lovely as these people have been, I am ready to leave the hospital. With that said, I am also happy to stay as long as Chad needs to feel 'normal'.

My goal for right now is that by dinner time tomorrow Chad is feeling better, things are working how they should and we can get ready to relax in the comfort of a normal hotel room and begin getting back into the swing of things. But that may not happen, it may take another couple days ... There is a theory floating around that he may have an Ileus. Meaning, part of his bowel has fallen asleep. I just hope it wakes the hell up. I want my husband to feel better :(

I know, I know... Patience is a virtue.

In happier news. Our friend Kimmie and her boyfriend Mike drove down from Pennsylvania today for a visit and brought Chad some flowers :)  He doesn't usually enjoy those of the floral variety but he made a joke yesterday about being in the hospital and no one bringing him flowers. Kimmie caught wind of this via Facebook and naturally had to brighten his day! :) She's such a sweet heart!
