2:38 p.m.

Home from getting fluids and dad is asleep. He did well this am. Will let you know how he is when he wakes up. See the doctor on Monday and get lab work possibly fluid. Throat feels better today.

9:53 p.m.

Dad slept and got up at six to eat. Didn't eat as well as last night but was not complaining of anything bothering him. Watched the pioneer show till nine. Eating a thick milkshake now. Feeling ok. Will update on Saturday. Jane and David left after we went to wheeling.

The doctor wants him to do as much as he can to increase his lung capacity as he said that would help dissolve the clots. Can't stay up very much do to the pain making him short of breath. Hopefully with the warmer temps he can get outside and maybe tomorrow if he would have less pain he would be able to walk around in the house more. The pain is the controlling factor here. Doctor told him to try to do a little more movement every day. Yes I am making milkshakes. Using instant breakfast, whole milk, nestle's quick, peanut butter and ice cream. I have gained 30 pounds!
