Not getting out today

The assistant Dr. told Earl this a.m. that he won't be getting out today. The tube may come out this evening or in the morning. I would think they'll then start feeding him again to see what happens. This could take another day or so.

They call these young doctors "Surgical Fellows" (male or female).

Anyway.... Earl may not get out until Sat. or Sun.... we don't really know. His Dr. should be in some time today with more info.

Then, we'll just have to hope his stomach continues to work right. He's getting antsy to head home! Or, at least, out of here and back to the apt.

Earl's Mother fell early yesterday morning about 7:30 a.m. My Mother was the only other person there (in basement apt). Dad had already left to do a couple of odd jobs. She was able to call out for help and Mother heard her on the baby monitor we had hooked up before we left. Otherwise, she could have been in the floor for a while. Mother called 911. Public assist calls are referred to the Rescue Squad. Our daughter, Liana, was pulling time at squad, so she and three guys rolled to help her up. (Two of them were "green shirts".... high school kids in training). His Mother didn't break anything, so we've been told, but her shoulder is sore, where she landed on it.
