We are still waiting to be moved to the "step down" room. St. Vincents is a great hospital with great doctors but obviously very full. Although we are growing weary of this waiting room and "visiting hours", we know that ICU is a great place for him to be. Mom and I just left him and he is having a rough day. He doesn't feel well at the moment (he has a really bad headache and is very nauseous) so we requested that the nurse call Dr. Holmes. She did and he sent orders for some different medicine and he is trying to go to sleep. I can't even begin to imagine how miserable all of that must feel. A new nurse came in to give him the meds and she could not believe that his surgery was just yesterday! She asked us if it was true..she thought the papers had the wrong date. She said she had never seen one of those surgeries look so good on the second day! She said, "it must be his skin" and I said..."oh no! It is prayer!". We can see he is feeling pretty yucky right now but we are so happy to know that we obviously have the best case scenario at this point and it could of been a lot worse. Please continue to pray for healing and especially for Papa. He is now realizing what has really just happened and he is feeling a little blue about it. It was to be expected, but he needs our constant prayers and support. I will talk to you all soon.
Love,
Michelle
