Thanks to Becky and her email reporting, I have another installment on Rocky's condition:

Hi to all.

I am exhausted, but have better news this evening. The kidney situation has evened out, but there is still some irregularity there that was also present before surgery. ???? Hard to say. Rocky seems to have no ill effect from the fall except that he pulled out his catheter and feels bumped and bruised. He is sitting in the chair some and walked once with one more walk this evening. He is cranky. He still seems to be a little confused, and has been trying to get out of bed all day. Hmmm. Wonder how he fell? Anyway, he wants to come home, but can't because he hasn't started passing gas through the colon yet. Once that happens, he will start getting some soft food and they will begin taking away things: morphene pump, IV/s, catheter and oxygen.

Rocky's daughter is arriving this evening to take the night shift at the hospital while mom and I sleep. I have to go back to work tomorrow, so they will begin 12 on 12 off. He can't be trusted. ha. Better news, which is welcome. To the big questions you have, still no answers. Maybe by Friday.

Off to feed mom's cats, Napoleon, and my Chicky. And Amber. This is a mess. I am ready for a vacation. !!! Will keep you posted, Love to all, Beck

p.s. Please continue to pray! He isn't a very good patient.

This is certainly better news. Hang in there Rocky, there are a lot of prayers going up on your behalf.
