Day 4 at lovely WTN Healthcare...He is so much better that there is talk about letting him go home on Monday. Wahoo!!! They did consent to letting him leave the hospital for a couple of hours this morning. He had a previous commitment for this morning at Aldersgate Methodist Church and he said that he would be keeping that commitment. Dr. Matthews could not argue with this "hard-headed German", so we left at 8:30 and returned at 12:00. I really think that God's fresh air and sunshine helped him more than any modern medicine. He is tired, hungry, , but so much better.
You wouldn't know that this was the same pitiful man that checked into this hospital on Wednesday. When we got here, he couldn't walk across the room unassisted and could not get his breath enough to even try. They found more fluid around his heart, unfortunately on the back side. This condition had his cardiac surgeon scratching his head wondering how he would correct this problem.
God, in His infinite wisdom as the "Ultimate Healer", took care of this problem. The fluid quickly diminished and he has just returned from having his chest tube removed. Praise the Lord. Most of his pain is gone and his appetite has returned. He had lasagna/corn/salad for lunch and an extra large barbque sandwich for dessert. He is now eating Snickers minis and wanting popcorn. Life is good!!!!!
Enjoy this beautiful day!
