Sigh

John is tired of being in the hospital. He's also physically tired. Today he received blood products in anticipation of a new drain. Aunt Esther and I stuck around into the evening waiting for radiology to determine if his clotting factor was in a safe range. They decided they will give him more plasma around 4:00 a.m. then insert the drain sometime in the morning. I know he'll feel a bit better once the fluid starts draining again. A speech therapist worked with his swallowing technique while we were there. Still no food or water by mouth and no NG tube. He's receiving IV fluids.
