Hello All,
Today brings good news! Dad's surgery was very long (61/2 hours) but went well. He was able to come off the breathing tube and be moved back up to the 5th floor on Neurology ICU at 4am. I spoke with his nurse this morning who says he wakes up easily, is able to speak in a raspy voice, knows who and where he is and the reason he is there. Knowing why he is there is a big change from the day before surgery and reason to say Hallelluliah! They are also starting to remove one or two of the many tubes so he will be a bit more comfortable. We have been told that he is at risk for a number of complications, especially over the next week so will continue to pray for a full recovery.
Dave, Matthew and Rebecca arrived safely last night and Dave has already been able to see Dad.
He continues to need lots of rest and low stimulation. I suggest we keep visits very brief over the next few days.
Please forward this or call anyone not on the list who does not use email. We love our support network and know that prayer is powerful!
Love,
Jan
