4pm report: Hello.. Dad has been watching is Hemoglobin, having it drawn from his primary Dr. every 3rd day. Over the past week his rates have been fluctuating between 9.5and 8.9. The doctor feels that this is not a worry as hemoglobin rates typically fluctuate based on time of day drawn and hydration levels. This week he also had a visit with the Gastroenterologist who said that the ulcer in his upper diaphragm is heeling and it could have come from stress related to COVID-19. It should heel within a month or so. So dad is settling in and definitely has his appetite back - to date, he has gained back 2lbs of the 28 lost.
It was great seeing dad today. He gets driven over by my mom each day to pick up the NY Post. He loves getting up and dressed and out.. Yesterday we took a walk and sat in the sun a bit… Things are looking up….
