Miraculous! As we had hoped, Rich was conscious and able to talk to us during the 2pm visit... He said to Dorcas, "This was a breeze... I'm good, let's get outta here." He is feeling a little restless and would really like to sit up and have some water but unfortunately, his nurse Scott said not for a few more hours. Rich thinks Scott "is just pissed at me."
Rich needs more rest and monitoring for the next several hours. Hopefully the uncomfortable Swan Catheter in his neck will be removed, and the doses of medicines are slowly being tapered down. He might even be able to sit up if there is no bleeding in the next few hours.
Dorcas and Richard just met the COO of the hospital, Duke Rupert. He was sent to check in on Rich by some of our friends and their family. He is a nice guy and ask Richard if there was anything that they could be doing for him that they aren't. He will be checking in with us during our stay.
Rich is looking at possibly being moved from the SICU to a room of his own by tomorrow.

I guess we all know now not to "piss off Scott" or you might go thirsty. LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Rich, It worked (my prayer)...I prayed, "The hell with my dolly, please fix my Richy" I was worried 'cause I cussed when I said it. I guess that didn't matter-teehee :)
Hang in there, and what's a COO? Like CEO?
Love You.
Awesome, that is just awesome news. I knew if anyone would pull through that so well it would be Rich... he even has a little of his attitude back!

ReplyDeleteGreat news! Leave it to you Dorcas to get to the CEO. We will keep up the prayers. Let us know what you else you need.
ReplyDeleteIs there an address where we can send Rich a card? Maria was ready to get in the car and drive down there, I think I can talk her into sending Rich a card for now.
