Anxiously Waiting Are You????

Yes I've been a bad blogger. I admit it. I am updating the blog as we speak. Stay tune.....

UPDATES

I must tell you that dad has done WONDERFUL!!!! He hasn't had any pain, he's been walking, and watching what he eats and being satisfied quickly too. Of course he's ready for his first fill which should be any day now.

Today was the update for the pictures. It's been almost a month since his surgery and a little over a month since I took the last pictures before his surgery.

Here's the first one I did back in January.

Walking Side by Side

Dad and I went for a walk during a break at work. It was nice to walk with him and be able to talk about anything. The weather was perfect!!!

He's BACK!!!!!!

Dad came back to work today. It was so nice to have him back. His surgery was last Friday, February 6th, and it's now Wednesday, February 11th. So he only missed 3 days of work! He feels good, and he looks great! He stayed at work until about 3:00. So he's on the right path!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love you tomorrow!!!

Dad is suppose to be back to work tomorrow. YEAH! I get so much done when he's out of the office, but I just truly miss being able to talk to him just whenever even if it's a small detail.

Update: Dad is doing great! So far, so good! He walked 30 minutes on Sunday, and 30 minutes yesterday. He's already going at it strong!! :)

Dad Came Home

Quick Update: Dad was released from the hospital at 3:30 today! He's doing great so far!!!

Fun & Update

Well Shelby and I made it back to the hospital last night. I thought this pic was so cute.

Dad had went for a walk just before we got there and had gotten nauseated. The nurses were so good to him. He has just 3 cuts on his belly maybe 2 inches long each. He looked like he is healing well already.

Would you eat this??? This was his Beef Broth for dinner, along with the jello, and a fruit blend drink. Plus, sugar AGAIN!!! What is he using this for and people, he just had lap band surgery to lose weight!

Ok I think the drugs were kicking in because I got some funny shots of dad!

Shelby & her poppa, and poppa has jello coming out of his mouth.

View from dad's room at the hospital.

We could also see the building, that dad spent 21 years of his career at and I spent 7 years at. This is the Prospect Building and when A. G. Edwards was there.

The moon was beautiful from this view too.

Dad's room number below.

Update this morning: Dad had not checked out of the hospital as of 11. Don't know when he'll be released. He's doing really well, and I think he's just ready to get home. Will update more later.
