The day you honor the US men and women who died for us in the arms of duty...
Memorial Day is also the time for picnics, barbecues, and family gatherings. I know you all will be thinking of us as well, I wish you all a wonderful day
I received a text this morning it said ...
"the picture of Frank walking at the hospital
makes memorial weekend a great memory to cherish"
What's going on with Frank? Last night he kept talking about a gurgling sounds that he could feel not in his stomach, not indigestion, something else which concerned us. I could even hear it when I put my head below his heart. At first the nurse thought it was his bowels being active. But later she came into change his dressing and felt that the doctor needed to be called. They took a x-ray thinking that maybe is was that one lead left behind from his pacemaker/defib, and maybe it was in some of the fluid that he has on his body. Results came back and everything checked out okay, that's not it. Their decision was to wait till this morning. Frank slept thru the night and the gurgling sound has subsided a little. They are going to continue to watch and wait, if it continues they will do a ultrasound.
Lets all not get alarmed, strong boy has already taken one of his 5 min walks this morning, wants another shower, ready for breakfast and has 2-3 walk left for the day depending on how he feels. Does that sound like the Frank you know...
10:30 AM - Seen Dr Moazami and he worried all night about what the gurgling was about. All he could think it was, was fluid around his heart, reassured Frank that he was doing fine and increased his lasix to get the fluid off.
10:15 PM - HAD A REALLY GOOD DAY, BEST ONE BY FAR! Hope things continue to go in this direction, thanks for all heartfelt comments. Love, Frank
They will do a echo test tomorrow. Susan ;)

ReplyDeletepraying for you- keep that smile on your face.
That picture of you taking a walk was great. I
guess they didn't take your picture walking in
the other direction,(which is probably good be-
cause those drawstrings in the back don't us-
ually hold very tight). I understand my friend
Randy who had a liver transplant contacted you.
If you have any questions, he would love to
help any way he can.
Well, just know we are with you and your family
in spirit.
Love, your cousin Joe
Prayers are still coming your way. Hopefully the gurgling sound is just Frank wanting some pasta, sugu and cannoli! ;-) This blog is GREAT!!! Thanks for the updates. Love ya all, Susie

You're quite welcome, Frank. Being so far away with you in St. Louis, it's the least I can do (in addition to praying, of course). I just sent Father Joe your message and the address of this blog. I let Gene know what was going on and I have yet to hear from him. He doesn't live on the internet like yours truly LOL! Thanks for the personal message my dear friend. YOU are SPECIAL! Love, Susie
