I just talked to mom. She asked the nurses last night if there was anything to help his bowels move along besides colon surgery. The nurse said magnesium citrate would probably help. So this morning when the doctor came to discuss surgery or no surgery mom mentioned magnesium citrate and the doctor said he was going to prescribe that. Dad had at least 2 ounces and that really helped his bowels.
His mind is not doing so well. He is very confused, due to the fact that he's been away from home too long. Nights are very hard on him so mom is going to stay longer at night to make sure he is settled and then arrive later in the morning. The doctors say he will probably need to stay on oxygen when he leaves the hospital. Mom concluded the conversation saying "He is stabilized."
