The day got better as it went along, but the burning question is...why does the day shift leave you alone and the night shift bothers you all night? If anyone knows the answer to that question, please pass it on!!!

We both napped some and talked to Dr. Addington about Bill's blood pressure staying so low. He was not concerned, said his does the same thing. But, I think he has ordered a hold on a couple of his meds tonight so that the anesthesiologist doesn't freak out tomorrow. That is the main concern now, that they won't want to do the surgery because of it. At 4 his bp was 98/62, almost perfect for him. At 8 it was 89/54 and he had not done anything except eat and use the bathroom. His O2 sat is still low, even with the O2. It's staying borderline 89-91 and they would like for it to be 92 to take the O2 off. I've noticed also that when his bp is lower he tends to cough. Don't know if it's related or not.

We still don't know when the surgery will be. The only thing we know is that they are going to start his IV at 6 and they are holding his morning meds. Other than that, only the surgeon knows!

On a good note, our granddaughter Brianna was baptized tonight! Luckily her church streams the services so we got to see it, but not live because the hospital internet was down due to thunderstorms! But we've just watched it and are so proud of her!

Will update again in the morning. Good night everyone!
