What a difference a day makes. Today, things were much, much improved. Thank you, Lord! He's been able to sit up and stand up by himself. I couldn't believe my eyes as I walked into his room this morning. He still has the chest tube, and the Dr. said this evening it needs to stay in at least until Tues. I did not realize until this afternoon, he also has a drainage tube in the incision on his back, and that was removed this evening. Still using plenty of pain medication, (epidural w/pump) after being advised to keep that pain under control and to not let it get away.
His appetite is great. His color is amazingly good, and his voice is strong. He's pretty much confined to staying right beside the bed, due to so many tubes, wires, pumps, etc. He said this evening, he'd never before realized just getting to walk into the bathroom or hall as a privilege.
We should hear something about the pathology report Mon. or Tues.
Love you all,
Kim
