He seems to be doing great! He’s being ornery and keeping the nurses on their toes.
They found out that he didn’t break/crack anything during the fall. They did, however, suspect that he might have fractured his number one vertebrae. After some scans they found out nothing was wrong other than then typical back problems that elderly have.
They also suspected that he had stomach ulcers which they did an Endoscope today and found no ulcers but they did find some stomach irrigation due to pain medications.
As for his heart it looks good, now that the tests are done.
He’s a strong o’ Goat. I’m so happy to hear this news.
--- Talked with him tonight. He sounds great. Even excited, he cracked a joke. We couldn’t talk to him long because he is still in ICU in Flagstaff, AZ.
He said he’d more than likely be flown home, on a helicopter, tomorrow or the next day. Not sure if that’s true. I was told medical helicopter flights were restricted to one-way. We’ll see but all sounds good this far.
There are still some more tests to be run but other than that it all sounds good!
--- To all of you out there for your prayers and blessings – THANK YOU
