Staying for the Weekend

The doctor came to see dad this morning and she told him he would be staying at the hospital for the weekend. His blood levels are still not therapeutic in order to leave and go to rehab yet, so they will continue to work on that and monitor his levels throughout the weekend with the goal of getting him to rehab on Monday. They need to rescan his brain before leaving to make sure the blood thinners are not affecting anything there, as well. He is feeling good though and his bladder infection is now gone and his gout was caught early enough and now gone, he is having a little problem with nausea but mostly when they are moving him around. Since its the weekend, I am sure he would enjoy some short visits from family & friends - he will only have limited therapy on Saturday and Sunday. So we are praying for the continued safe administering of the blood thinners as they increase the levels some- we need it just right. . . and then we can pick up where we left off at Rehab and hopefully get our Shug home for Christmas!
