Happy Sunday!
Adam is doing well.
He hit a wall lst night with the 'hospital food.'
I think he's just getting a bit stir crazy.
In my prayers this morning, I asked for the wire to come out easliy.
One of the nurses said, 'We don't want to tug too heard, because we might take a piece of the heart with it.'
Nice!
If it didn't come out, they were comfortable just cutting it off and leaving it there.
I wasn't!
They said it wasn't common, but it happens.
Dr Salerno came in this morning and pulled it right out.
Another blessing, another Praise God!
On the bummer side, it looks like he will be here until Tuesday.
They need to get his blood thinners figured out.
His blood went too thin with the first dose, and too thick with the second.
It sounds like the three bears and goldilocks.
We are looking for 'just right.'
He's bummed.
I'm gonna run and get him some food from the outside world.
We continue to count blessings.
My sister Charn and I were discussing it last night.
It feels like every day there is an obvious presence of God in this journey.
Every day there is another answer to prayer.
He is walking well, we are controlling the pain and getting taste buds back.
All blessings!
Thanks for the continued prayer.
God is Good!

ok....so we were looking forward to 'a week' in the hospital...I guess the Dr. knows best. He has been amazing so far. Hang in there. I know you are doing what they say and working the hardest of all on a healthy recovery.
ReplyDeleteLove,
I am thankful the wire came out easily. Adams body has been thru enough. Val, hope you are getting more rest. Your Sister, Beth
ReplyDeleteI'm home with the wicked "summer virus" where I'm hacking up my lungs right now but then I think of the pain that Adam has from having his chest actually "cracked" and I stop whining... Everything has new meaning now, doesn't it? Corn and Maters are on your kitchen counter just out of Onyx and Willie's reach but do be sure to wash 'em because I do have the "cooties" right now (I was a quick in and out and didn't touch anything!) Bring Adam some MCL Cafeteria takeout as it's home cooked love like Roast Beef and Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes and good stuff. And don't worry about the extra day there because I imagine it's sort of like childbirth where you "think" you want to go home and then it's really, really hard on the first day or two once you get there. Rest for another day and let the nurses help him get better - you too!! XOXOXO.... Tracy :-)
ReplyDeleteThings continually keep improving and lots of good things - so they just want to keep him because he is being a wonder child again. It will be hard to keep him down and resting at home so make sure they keep him as long as he needs them to. love and hugs for you both boo
