Steve had his right hip replacement done yesterday and is doing very well. We went and saw him lastnight and this morning and he really didn’t have any complaints. The little pain that he’s had is tolerable. He is on a Dilaudid PCA (pain button) so he has been pretty sleepy with that. He got up for the first time this morning and he said that it went OK. The pain wasn’t too bad, but he did get pretty lightheaded, so they got him back to bed shortly after getting up. We anticipate that he’ll be going home on Friday if all goes as planned; hopefully the Thursday ice/snowstorm that we’re supposed to get won’t keep him there longer. Kris is now feeling better and made it down yesterday in the snowstorm.
Brandon was supposed to get his biopsy results back from Mayo yesterday, but didn’t. I will let you know of the results once they are back.
Brad took Jaxson into the Dr. yesterday because it seemed that his bronchitis was back after being off of the antibiotics for a few days. It turned out that he has one ear infection and is working on another, which I never would have guessed. The Dr. also said that his lungs didn’t sound quite as bad as they did a couple weeks ago, but still put him back on the prednisone. He’s feeling better already. He only had one coughing spell during the night lastnight as opposed to the whole night like it was on Monday and his nose is no longer a continuously running faucet.
