It's the beginning of a new week.
I slept at home last night.
I kept thinking, 'Why don't the nurses fix Adam's IV?'
It was my alarm clock.
My, how our world has changed!.
Adam had a rough night.
His BP was up and the nurses were concerned.
They came in to monitor him every 2 hours.
That started a cycle that probably helped drive it higher.
By this morning, he was wound pretty tight.
The MD came in.
He is feeling fine about everything.
Adam continues to progress.
His blood levels are starting to rise.
His appetite and activity levels are good.
He is gaining weight.
His night sweats are greatly reduced.
Th main reason for caution is the blood thinner.
They want to make sure it exactly where it should be for home maintenance.
The MD says a valve replacement is one of their most complex surgeries.
Two valves is incredibly complicated.
They want to be very cautious with Adam.
So, we wait.
He said probably Tues or Wed.
We continue to feel the prayer blanket surrounding us.
It is greatly appreciated.
Praise today for the blood levels finally coming up and for the gifted doctors that care for Adam.
The list of blessings is truly endless.
God is Good!

Val, thanks again for all of the updates. We are so relieved to hear that all is going well. Nice that you were able to sleep in your own bed last night and you were wakened to your alarm clock (IV alarm). Give Adam a kiss for us.

Val,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the updates. What will life be like when Adam comes home? The recliner instead of a bed and will there be any other restrictions? besides the careful showering, 10 # limit on lifting. Things he can't eat? Such a journey. Beth
Val & Adam:
ReplyDeleteI took some time to figure out how this blog thing worked (to a degree) so I was able to go back and read thru the whole thing. Awesome chronicals. Adam you are right on target man! It has been a rough go but you are going to feel better than you have in years before long. I am thrilled you are doing well and sad that I could not come and help in some way.
I thought about your mission trip Val, sorry you had to miss that. Sounds like everyone has been very understanding and supportive along those lines. Well I love you guys! Keep up the walking, deep breaths, eating, and resting tall man.
Love,
Cynthia C.
