Thanks for your prayers. Daily, your prayers are being answered. Daily, I forget to thank God for what he's done and what he's continuing to do. It seems I am constantly asking for more, but forgetting to celebrate my blessings. Here are just a few (as God has blessed me far beyond the word limit allowed on this post):
- Chuck's surgery was successful.
- Chuck has excellent doctors and nurses.
- Chuck's heart, liver, and platellet issues have been resolved.
- Chuck's infection has cleared up.
- Chuck's lungs are okay.
- Chuck is alert.
- Chuck is able to communicate.
- Chuck is getting nourishment.
This is the plan for this week:
- Wednesday he'll get the J peg ... or G tube ... funny thing I've discovered, there are a zillion names for the same thing. In any case, they are putting a tube into his stomach.
- Wednesday he'll get a chest tube (the fluid pulled off yesterday is already back).
- Chuck will be fitted for a brace sometime this week.
- Chuck might be able to sit up and dangle his feet off the bed. He might even get out of bed!
Please thank God for ... well, for everything. Tons of love to you all!
