Day 2 After Surgery

He walked and sipped water & apple juice.  Those are the highlights.  Specifically, he walked 2 laps around the 2100 unit and sat in the recliner for about 3 hours.  They finally allowed him to start sipping some water and some apple juice, but only sipping.  If he continues to handle that, then maybe tomorrow they will allow him to start on some liquid food.  He says his pain levels are "pretty good" which translated means the pain meds are working.  He continues to run a slight fever but that appears to be expected.  He also continues to doze off constantly, even in mid sentence sometime.  I went on off to work this morning and managed to stay until around 3:30.  I don't know which is more exhausting, staying at the hospital or playing catch up at work.  It's a real toss up there!

Tonight is going to be an early night for both of us.  Hopefully lights out by 9pm.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed, sent get well wishes, and good thoughts our way.  A special thank you to everyone at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church and to the staff and agents at The Home Team.  Each one of you is so dear to us.  We could never have anticipated such an outpouring of love.
