Day 14

It was two weeks ago tonight that we sat with the surgeon and he told us how well the surgery went. Two weeks later, R is doing well, but he still is in for a long fight. Jen & I are happy to be at his side.

As I was visiting, the internist and some nurses were doing some tests to see how R's lungs were doing. He tolerated the tests so well that they decided to put him on a different ventilator - definitely a step in the right direction. All of R's vitals and blood work remained stable throughout the day.

Jen & I both plan to be up for rounds tomorrow. Just before rounds, they plan to change the bandaging on his incision and ostomy site. We should get some good information tomorrow morning about how he is progressing. We will pray for a good night tonight and hope for a good report tomorrow.

Thank you for taking this journey with us! Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
