Congratulations Eve and Arne!!
very great news!! dad smiled and saw the photo!!

We stayed up until 4am, dads toes were hurting tremendously badly. He also pulled his IV out and it took 2.5 hours to get another vein to take the needle. 3 nurses were working away on him starting at 1am. one vein finally worked. exhausting.

Dr Finkelstine did change his food, and has adjusted it for his low sodium. She is monitoring his nutrition. 61.2 kg today
Dr. Finkelstine is very concerned about his toes. a specialist came into listen to his heart beat in his feet. he will report his findings to his boss and they will discuss what to do. so far they don't think he's a good candidate for foot surgery because of his other problems.  his pain is extreme today in his toes. i need to request the rheumatologist to come and look at his toes again.

he sat up in a regular chair for an hour today. it was very difficult. we will practice on the cardiac chair over the weekend.
speech therapy came by and practiced ice chips and he swallowed maybe 3. he is very distressed because of his toes, and that makes everything else more difficult.
