The good news is that Dave had a CT scan today and there doesn't seem to an intestinal blockage. The bad news is that his bowels are still not working and the hemorrhoids are extremely painful. Dave is hungry but he's not allowed to eat anything until things start moving. For now it's ice chips and sips of water...
He got some sleep last night and this morning (thanks to the Ativan IV) and hopes to do the same tonight. He's been moved to a private room (3101).
Thank you all for praying,
Meredith

Dear Dave and Joanne,
ReplyDeleteI just finished walking around the block praying for you with tears and great, great love. When I got back, Renee showed me Joanne's e-mail and this blog.
Oh, how we love you! Oh, how we are hurting with you! Oh, how we pray that God would be with both of you in such a way that everything seems unreal in comparison. May he be to you "a refuge and a strength, a very present help in time of trouble."
And to say again, we love you two so, so much!
Michael and Renee
Dave -
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are finally in a private room - it's long overdue! Great news that there isn't a blockage! I hope you have a better day, and that things start moving again very soon. I am so sorry that you are having to go through all of this. Please hang in there!

Dang it, Dave. I want you better already. You're on our hearts all the time, and everyone here keeps asking, "How's your friend Dave?" And we go, "Who?" Oh, HIM? The guy that forgot the cap to the air mattress on our four day canoe trip, so used a condom instead? THAT guy??
ReplyDeleteWe still love you, duhhhh.
