Hi all, I talked to Jeanne again today and she advises Bill is still holding his own. He remains in ICU and therefore No Visitors. She will advise when he is up to seeing friends when he is out of ICU.
After his initial surgery on Monday night, he again underwent another surgery on Wednesday to install an Ileostomy which will assist him in collecting bowel activity.
His Blood Pressure is quite high and they are monitoring that.
He has a breathing tube which he is not comfortable with but is necessary.
All of this is complicated by the fact that he has Diabetes.
Jeanne was finally able to return home last night and gain some much needed sleep. This was only made possible because they sedated Bill to sleep last night – he has been busy fighting the breathing tube in his sleep.
We know both Bill and Jeanne are fighters but you will agree they have been handed a full plate this year. Bill’s surgery this coming Thursday to remove his Colostomy has now been postponed….
When I know more, I’ll send it along to you.
Jan Bradley
