Hospital Day 8 - Updated

We are still here... though Eric's BP this morning was good, so I've got my fingers crossed the Dr will let us go home today. She should be in soon 🤞

I was so glad to see our regular (inpatient) doctor on Tuesday after the long weekend. She came right in and said we'd lower the dose of the med we think is causing the high BP and monitor for 24 hours. I couldn't get the Dr on Monday to lower the dose! She also told us to get out of the hospital for a few hours. So we went to Toys R'Us to pick up a new Lego set - the best entertainment in the hospital! And to McDonald's for Eric's Mango-Pineapple Smoothie craving, but the Kerrisdale McD's doesn't have smoothies! And then to Granny's for a visit. On our way back to the hospital we hit up DQ/Orange Julius for an Orange Julius to make up for the lack of smoothie. 

Eric is currently building his new Machamp (Pokemon) Lego set and chatting with Ken the amazing volunteer about spiders (eek!) and now they are onto the Loch Ness Monster. 


Update: we were sprung free today, arriving home about 1pm!!!
