Wednesday- Not too much happened today. Reg is walking more and sat up in the chair most of the day. The pain in the leg after walking is pretty intense so the exercise is brief. He is tolerating the tube feeds well, however, He has alot of residual after 4 hours when it is time for another feeding. At 5 hours he is empty so I have requested they up the calories per feed and reduce by 1 per day. The team and the surgeons were in surgery all day so saw them this a.m. Doppler sounds are strong and began introducing sips of water and ice chips. Ice chips went well but the water through the straw failed. Reg can't suck... He tried drinking from the cup but the tongue is still very swollen and he can't tilt his head back very far so we will try again tomorrow. I think that Friday he may be discharged since there was little success with the liquids today. Hopefully we will know the pathology results tomorrow. That will help with the healing as well. It's turned cold in the city with some rain, but I'm enjoying the change. Thanks eeveryone for the support.
