..nurses and residents scurried about. At least on the 2nd floor at Duke. Joe's IV which he had had in his right arm since midnight on Thursday night began to leak this afternoon, so they had to remove it and put the cutest little band-aid over the hole. About 15 minutes ago they came in to put a new IV line in. An 18 gauge needle. Pretty darn big needle. But it's in the underside of his forearm rather in the elbow area like before so maybe he won't be setting off the IV machine all night like he has been doing since Thursday night. My family arrived tonight to see Joe before the surgery and are staying at our house tonight. Joe's family is driving over early tomorrow morning from Greenville, NC. Joe INSISTED on a video of my family, so here is a quick one of them saying good-bye, followed by his phone ringing, imagine that- Joe on the phone- so we had to abruptly end it.
As you can see by the clock on the wall, it was already 30 minutes past visiting hours. I hope my family makes it home and isn't being held by the fearless Duke Security downstairs being interrogated! :)
Please note in the video that Joe is in new fresh clothes (red shirt, grey sweat pants) since he was able to take a nice long shower this morning and shave as well. .
All kidding aside, please continue to say prayers for Joe as he undergoes the surgery tomorrow and help guide the surgeon skillful hands to make it possible to completely remove the tumor.
