Midwest weather getting in the way

So another stormy day and this time, Jeff and Dad had to be moved to the hallway. After seeing the tornado in Joplin and the hospital there, they weren't taking any risks. Dad was in the hallway for a few hours and Jeff said he mostly slept. They put a tube down dad's nose and it goes into his stomach. It takes out the junk that has been making him feel sick. He is complaining that the tube is starting to irritate and hurt him so hopefully it will come out tomorrow. The doctors decided NOT to do a chest tube or stabilize his lungs by surgery today. They want the least amount of holes in him as possible. So they are hoping it starts to heal better with the tube getting stuff out of his stomach and therefore helping him cough more to help clear his lungs. His skin graph still looks good today. He still can't move the leg but the doctor might take the wrap off of it tomorrow and have a better look at it. Hope everyone is safe and sound after today's storms!
