Dad's Out & a New Morgan!

Dad's Out...
Dad was released from the hospital with a few days to spare before Christmas. Dad and Terri were able to spend a few days with Terri's parents in Monet, MO for Christmas and back in time to visit with Jeff, Brenna, and Sydney who were in St. Louis for Christmas. Dad was glad to be out of the hospital to meet the newest addition to the family - Drew Kayla Morgan, Ryan and Christy's new addition born Dec 23rd at 7:29AM. She was 6 lbs 15oz. and 20 3/4 inches long. I'll let the proud papa share the pictures. She's beautiful!!!

Dad's hospital room change...now 314-747-5933

Quick update. Dad's room changed to 5933. He still has the view he likes of downtown Central West End but this way he is closer to the nurses' station. Forgot to include last night that Dad fell at the house (last week/weekend, something like that). As dad described, "took a header into the shower wall" he has a "bump" on his head and a LARGE bruise on his side. Nurse/PhD said he's never seen a bruise that bad. What's weird is Dad also just said he fell on the opposite side of where the bruise is. I don't know how that's possible, maybe sleeping on the other side and the blood draining? That's the first I've heard of it so haven't talked to Terri or nurse/doctor about it yet. Lung scan and cat scan came back clear. Terri said that they do not think it's pneumonia as Dad's been on anti-pneumonia medicine since leaving the hospital the last time so it's more unlikely that other R...thing. AGAIN...Dad likes phone calls and cards and all that fun stuff. No fun being in the hospital again for X-mas and Terri's still needing to sleep at home until she starts feeling a little better so give him a shout. I'm heading that way after work. I'll update again if anything big changed. Thoughts and prayers for pops...

12/19/06

I just got off the phone with Terri. Terri let me know that Dad has been admitted to the hospital again. He's had a pretty bad cough for a week or so and the PhD/Nurse heard something different in his lungs this time so admitted him. They think he may have pneumonia. She said they don't know for sure but think it's either PCP pneumonia or RSV. They're doing a culture to try and determine what type he has. I'll share more news as I hear it but thought I'd get this on the blog for those who check it frequently. Terri was able to tell me that they think Dad will be out in about 3 days or so, and that all his other "numbers" look good. Terri has a pretty bad cold herself so will be sleeping at home to try and get better and at work during the day. I'm sure Dad would love phone calls during the day while Terri's at work. He is at Barnes again in St. Louis and his room telephone number is 314-747-5925.
As always thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. I'll update when I have more news.
