7.19.10

MONDAY MORNING:
I just spoke with my mom. She and Riley arrived about 7 pm last night. My dad was extremely happy to see them. Riley said the hospital is like a mountain retreat. He was wishing he could check into a room for a weekend getaway.
They are doing some final testing on Larry and are planning on sending him home this afternoon. They are still watching the enzymes in his bloodstream. They also are watching his oxygen levels. Sounds like they are assuming once the altitude level changes that they will be closer to normal. They are at 9,000 feet. I felt a little worried that they are releasing him while they are still watching all of these things, but my mom assured me that they will do a full analysis of his heart before they perform surgery on his shoulder next week.

Love to all of you and I hope Larry's journey was easy and pain free. No doubt the Wolf will be working hard on healing and we will be cheering him on. Love from all of us in Santa Fe and thanks for the updates they are really appreciated,
Polly and the gang

Sounds like the reverse of when Voo was in the hospital in Vermont. The docs would say, "Well, his oxygen levels are okay now, but they won't be okay back in Sanpete Utah, at 5700 feet." One doc even said he'd probably never be able to got the cabin again.

Which shoulder did he break?

Love from all of us in Vermont!
