My dad was still very uncomfortable with the feeding tube, the tube for urine and the tracheostomy tube. He tried to pull them and successfully he did (again). And today I could see my dad wasn’t sleeping properly as his body were going to fall off the bed. Luckily there was a rail bar on the side of the bed. My dad’s right arm was tied to the side rail bar so that my dad wouldn’t pull the tubes. My dad was very smart that he could positioned himself so that his hand could reach the tube.

Doctor told me that another doctor who did the tracheostomy will be checking my dad’s throat tomorrow and then if everything is ok, they will remove the tube from the throat and then followed by the removal of feeding tube. My dad could swallow 3 spoonful of porridge but after the 4th spoon my dad had enough. Maybe he’s just tired or the pain is still there on his throat after the tracheostomy surgery.

My dad is still on a medication which makes the blood “thinner” so that it won’t cause another blood clot inside the blood vessels. Also a medication to control his phlegms’ thickness. My dad’s phlegms were getting lesser. Usually my dad would coughed alot due to the phlegms built inside the lungs.

Every year during Chinese New Year, my dad will drive back to his hometown together with some relatives. My dad will always be the driver and I sit beside my dad helping my dad to observe the signboards. That’s how active my dad was even at his age of 60s. My dad’s age is 69 this year. Even nurses said that my dad looks more like age of 50s.

I will be going off soon to visit my dad. I did not sleep well in the hospital, waking up once my dad coughed but I’m still fine. Anyway, thanks for reading and supporting. Have a wonderful day. God bless and peace out.
