Garrett is now in his room. He has been since around 8:00 pm. He is now stabilized. They have a new machine that clamps off the artery internally so they were able to take the catheter out. This "star" staple will stay in. He will now have to stay still on his back for four hours because of the clamp. His back is really bothering him since he has been on his back for 8 hours for the procedure. I did talk with him and with all things considered, he sounded good. Let's hope the morphine does not make him so sick this time and that he and Mom both get a decent night's sleep.
Here is the information for Garrett at the hospital:
Moffitt Cancer Center
12902 Magnolia Drive
Tampa, Florida 33612
Room 509
Room Phone: 813-745-2509
You can call his room telephone number anytime. Please call Mom's cell phone only after 7 pm due to lack of cell phone minutes.
I will update again tomorrow.
