Still in ICU

  • John’s still in the ICU at Wellington hospital – they had planned on moving him to the ward today
  • He’s staying there because of his elevated heart rate
  • They have given him heart medication which has lowered it – was up to 190 yesterday
  • His breathing is better – didn’t sound as laboured this morning
  • Still on the nose tube to empty his stomach as his stomach isn’t emptying as quickly as it should
  • They are going to try feeding him soft foods again today
  • He’s had a rough week but now wearing a nice green Celtic coloured robe
  • I’m picking his sister Eleanor up from the airport this afternoon and he’s looking forward to seeing her – though it is John so still slightly miserable πŸ™‚
  • On the bright side I have been driving into town a lot listening to radio and kids music – quite like the new guy on the radio Lewis Capaldi
