Still here in Amarillo. Not going to Dallas right now, in fact doubting even this weekend. Doctor said they may release Abel here in Amarillo and we may need to drive down on Monday. Three issues as to why we can't go right now and they are all weather related:
1. No ambulance to take him.
2. Not enough workers to take care of patients.
3. Not enough beds.
I have heard that the hospitals (there in Dallas) have had a hard time handling all the patients and all the surgeries scheduled. In fact the rumor has it that they cancelled all NON-emergency surgeries because they don't have a bed for them. Another rumor I have heard is that they have had power outages at the hospital(s) as well.
There are a lot of things we can't see and we have to be very patient. Today has been a relaxing day. Doctor came in around 10 and woke us up from our nap.Yesterday, Abel was moved from a liquid diet to a diabetic and low sodium diet. He is thrilled to be able to eat real food now.
Dad will be in Texas soon. He is a couple hours outside of Dallas right now. Hope to see him soon. Very excited!!
Abel is currently sleeping and I may go take a nap too. I will keep you all posted as much as possible.
