No complications

We are praising God that there have been no complications.  He is in alot of pain, naturally, but had a pretty good night. They are changing his meds today to take more of the edge off the pain. He rested comfortably when the heart monitor, medicine machines, bp cuff and leg massage machines were'nt beeping. Then there were nurses and Dr.'s coming in between all that taking blood and xrays. He's very nauseated and having a tough time keeping liquids down from the anesthesia and morphine-not fun! 

He had a great nurse, Gill last night. He was so attentive and just really took care of things before they happened. His shift was over at 11 and then Percy came on.  Jake told me I was a better nurse than she was. Matt and I had the privilege of having a suite in the hospital last night. They gave us a room at the Ronald McDonald House.  It was private. I stayed with Jake until 3 a.m. and Matt slept. Matt took over at 5 so Jake was with Percy for 2 hours, but she said he slept the whole time. 

We saw Dr. Morales at 9:30 this morning. He was pleased with all his vital signs. Even though his blood pressure is up, he still feels really good about his progress. He said it's probably just from being in pain. His left lung is still not expanding, but the Dr. said it's common at this stage, and will just have to be faithful in doing breathing therapy. He's resting comfortably right now.

Our prayers remain the same for now. Thank you for continuing to bathe him in prayer. Our God is faithful and we are grateful.

Romans 5:3, " Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance,  perserverance, character and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love in our hearts by the holy spirit whom the Lord is given us."
