There isn't a lot to report today. We spent about six hours with Daddy and he was awake the entire time. He is still on a clear liquid diet which doesn't please him. However, until the antibiotics take effect he can't have anything else. Today he said that he would really like to have mashed potatoes and gravy. (I will keep that in mind for when he comes home from the hospital!)
He is concerned that things are not progressing as quickly as he would like for them to. However, I keep telling him that the C. diff had quite a hold on his body and it will take a while for the antibiotics to overpower the C. diff and actually start the healing process. I don't think he is buying my story, though.
His mind is regaining its usual sharpness which is nice for us to see, but he is still moaning and groaning a lot. When asked (by us or the nurses) he says nothing hurts; he is just tired of feeling so miserable.
Arend isn't feeling too well either. Hopefully it is just the stress of the past three weeks. However, he will ask our family doctor to test him for C. diff when he sees him on Tuesday.
