Hello everyone!
As Maryann and I prepare to go home at the end of next week, I want to let you know I will not continue to do an update everyday as I don't want to make news where none exist. Jerry has been doing very well with his rehab and I will continue to keep you informed as his situation and heath dictate. You should know that he's had a great weekend filled with family and friends. The best thing I've noticed is how sharp he is mentally. His wit and humor, his ability to understand what's being said and what's going around him. Today day was a exhausting day, Jerry had Sonya, Benito and the kids there for most of the morning and Rick was with him till about 2:00. Jerry was a gracious host even at his own expense. When Rick asked him how he felt he said he felt "perky" as the day went on he began to get very tired. Rick, Maryann and myself went to get something to eat and when we returned, Jerry was not the same happy guy we left. He was feeling some pain in his stomach where his feeding tube is placed. He also was experiencing pain in his neck. The biggest problem today was his severe discomfort with what he called heartburn. He was really hurting and we were able to get his nurse to give him a dose of Prilosec. This seemed to work, however, we'll need to ask the doctor on Tuesday why he's having so much pain. The nurse came in and then gave him his pain killing cocktail. Even with this he still was in pain but he endured until the medicine knocked him out.
I know Jerry will be sad tomrrow when Rick goes home and Maryann and I will do our best to keep him company.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and I'll keep you posted on his progress.
Jon
