On any given day, Mike may or may not be able to have water or solid food. Yesterday when he was heavily drugged from a procedure, he was commenting on how 'EVERYONE else in there has water, cuz he SEES IT when he takes his laps around the trauma unit. I explained how everyone else has a different problem than he does, so it doesn't matter. He followed up my convincing logic with a whispered "and they all have food!" Don't anyone mention to him how Sam and I are getting yummy awesome meals brought in......we might become one of "them"!
Grossness:
They continue to clean out his wound and monitor his bowel sounds. Never thought I'd cheer for a man to pass gas! But that was me yesterday. He has a problem in his bowel that only deprivation can solve. He finally got water, apple juice, and jello last night. We'll see how today's rations trickle in or if they are needing to take them away again. Only the passage of gas and time will tell.
Love to all,
Lorrie
