Yesterday was "sports day" at the school that our granddaughters attend. Both girls were part of the "Red House" (the others were green yellow and blue), and the Red House ended up in second place overall. Everyone got the appropriate colour ribbons - and a great day was had by all.
Afterwards, we took our granddaughters to see Daddy at the hospital. Their mom met us all there on her way back home from her work. Derek was delighted to see everyone. He is doing well (still on intravenous drip to help his intestines recover), but he had been given some more solid (soft) food - mashed potatos, cooked carrots, etc., with no untoward effect. We all walked down to the hospital cafeteria, Derek had coffee (with cream and artificial sweetener), and he seemed in good shape. He certainly walks normally, but has to roll the intravenous rack along, which is a bit of a "drag" (pun intended).
As I write this (about 9 am), we don't know whether Derek will be discharged today or tomorrow - I'll let everyone know later.
UPDATE 11:50 am
Derek has just arrived at home. He answered the the phone when we called his home - he sounded as though he was having something to eat, which is good news. I imagine that he'll be blogging later.
We are relieved that it was just a small problem, and that it was fixed rather quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt is so great that the girls are not depressed and carry on running around in red ribbons ! This is all thanks to the family support, and you can be proud of it.
Hi Karl, I'm so glad to hear Derek is on the mend and back home. That's the best news for all of you. Hopefully no more blockages and life can resume once again.
