I've just heard from Connie. Spaw sat up for 1 hour today and had his hair washed with some sort of gel in a bath cap (I wonder if there is some sort of bath cap for his arse) Things seem to be going very well. (looks like he will be around pretty soon. Bill

Here's my initial post to this thread:

The other one was getting long! Anyway, still good news. Here is the latest from Connie:

Just got off the phone with K.
bottom line is he is much improved
the parts to that are:
Schwan-Gantz removed
arterial line removed
vent off by 8a

left central line in
plan to remove chest tube tomorrow
he's hurting, but on good pain meds
sat up for over an hour this a.m.
got his hair washed

On this point K was amazed and impressed. Seems that now they have a shower cap looking thing with some sort of gel in it. They pop it in a microwave, work the gel around a bit, plop it on his head and scrub away all the blood and yuk in his hair from surgery. cool huh

gratefulness to all!
Connie

Good pain meds, huh, while we are all sleepless on pins and needles!! **BG**

Keep up with being a good patient, Spaw, the pretty nurses will be along soon!
