Post op Day 4

Broc had a good day yesterday. We had some visitors in the afternoon and I got another mocha. Thank you and yum!!! The small things really make or break your day in the hospital. It was a little lonely once daddy and Markie left so Broc and I snuggled on his bed and we watched some HGTV and the Food Network. Two of Brocs favorite channels when he is in the hospital. We do t have cable so we cannot watch them at home.

Broc went back onto IV fluids last night as he was NPO from midnight due to him having anesthesia today for his angiogram. The vascular fam rounded and they are very happy with his progress so far. I guess the fact that they were able to harvest that small section of his saphenous vein was amazing givin the extent of the blockage. It is so imperative that we figure out what is going on with his vessels.

The plan for today is to do he angiogram and make sure the repair is looking good. His vessels are open and nothing new has popped up. Once he has the angiogram he will have to lay flat for 4-6 hours to make sure the sight stops bleeding properly.

Once he has recovered we will come back to his room to rest. PT will evaluate his walking tom and let us know if we need to do any exercises. Due to his incision in his groin he is walking on his toes with this right leg and they are concerned about a stricture or causing pain to his hips and back from walking crooked.

We also need to get his belly moving so he will be getting more meds for that too. I will update again after his angiogram today.

Our Buddy is still sleeping so we will leave him like that till they come to get him.

Thank you for all your love ,prayers and support.
