Breathing easier

Far Guy is breathing easier and looks better than he did on Monday.  He is comfortable in the hospital. He ate a good supper last night…salmon and rice. He might get out of there before the weekend if all goes well.  They are in the process of thinning his blood so that the blood clots will slowly dissolve over the next 3-4 months.  He is in fairly good spirits.

I spend my time between the hospital and home taking care of Chance, I come and go throughout the day.  Chance is confused that his whole “pack” is not together.   I get the message from him that I am better than nothing but he is waiting for Far Guy to return.

Thank you for the update and we continue to pray for improvement every day. Hugs to you and Chance. Theo lets me know that I am better than nothing, too!

Good news but make sure you take care of yourself so you don't get back down.

That is some good news. Still praying every day for Far Guy to get better.

Excellent news on FG. Chance - - typical male - - wants to hang out with the guys. Sounds like our grandsons. No matter what I do, they always ask, "Where's Pop Pop?" But they do give me hugs and smiles.
Praying you can get some rest and recover yourself.

Great photo. Chance looks like he is watching for Far Guy to come home. It's good to hear that he is doing a little better. Take care of yourself, Connie.

I'm glad Far Guy is breathing easier, and hope he'll be home soon.

Poor Chance... It must be so confusing for him.

Take care of yourself, too. What you are doing is wearing. Keeping Far Guy in my prayers.

Poor Chance. Poor Far Side and Far Guy. Hang in there everyone!

Yes, he misses his dad. That pack thing is so true. Barney doesn’t like that I am gone to the old place and waits and worries. I am relieved that his is better. The complications of two things makes is so much harder. I hope the antibiotics are hitting everything they can. My wife’s friend is better but was told that she is still at the finishing of her pneumonia and has’t beat it. Some how everyone in that pack needs to get more rest.

Be patient. Don't bring him home until he's ready.

So glad to hear he's doing better! May it continue and he be home soon...so both you and Chance can relax.

Karen said...

The back and forth is exhausting. Glad that things sound better though. Are dogs allowed to visit in the hospital? Maybe that would be too confusing for Chance.

So happy to hear good news! How far is the hospital from your house? I hope not far. You must be exhausted with it all...be sure and take good care of yourself too.

Country Gal said...

I do hope Far Guy feels better and you all can be at home with Chance soon .

Shirley said...

I sure hope life gets back to normal for you soon. Give Chance an extra snuggle from me.

I'll keep up the prayers for Far Guy and for you too. Hope Chance will be patient waiting for the whole FAM to be together once again at home!

Sounds like good news. Must be so confusing for Chance though.

Linda Reeder said...

It sounds like progress is being made. I hope that is giving you some peace of mind. You'll just have to give Chance an extra hug for now.
