Thursday update on Joe

Pat called tonight so I have an update for you all!

Joe is doing the same today. Pat said they are doing all they can to keep Joe comfortable and he is still sleeping almost all the time. She thinks he walked to much yesterday and was shot today for it. Pat sounds tired and I can tell she was hoping for a bit more improvment. She said she had waited to call as nothing new just the same and was hoping today would bring more improvment.

Jim went to see Joe today and Joe talked iwth him a few minutes and then was tired out. Pat said her sister came up tonight too but Joe was just too tired and slept. The NG tube is starting to bother him some but they do not know when that will be coming out. The doctor said they would take it day by day. So please say a prayer it can come out tomorrow and that his system kicks back in so it can come out. As it is bothering his throat and with it in no food. So they must continue the IV glucose and so his blood sugars are high. So it is a big balancing act.

So if you are planning on a visit to Joe know he will only be able to visit a few minutes before getting tired. Anyway no news is not bad news just a slow recovery. And the prayers and thoughts of everyone are appriated. Thanks for checking in on Joe tonight!

Dad we got lots of rain here. Litchfield has trees down. I will check on farm on Sat as we going to go fix Peter and Shellys computer.
