Tuesday morning

Good Morning!
I just noticed the time stamps.
As far as my posts, they aren't correct.
No worries, I just don't want you all to think I am blogging at 1 am!
It's day 2.
Lynsey and I stayed here at the hospital last night.
Although he has great care, a 15 minute drive felt too far.
We will take a break when the relief crew (family) arrives this morning.
Adam had a bit of a rough night.
It is all adjusting and tests and measuring and...
Well, it's hard.
He is waking up and more aware of all they are doing.
He didn't get much sleep.
He is very thirsty because of the anesthesia.
His doctor allowed him to go ahead and drink what he wanted.
His stomach wasn't as ready as he was.
He threw up about 4 am.
He said it hurt, and the wound seeped.
I can't imagine!
His heart is doing fine and tolerating the reduction of all of the meds, so far.
He still has that irregular beat every so often.
They are keeping him on an external pacemaker.
They aren't sure if it's post-op, or more long term.
Time will tell, but in the meantime the pacmaker helps him rest.
They got him to the side of the bed, and even on his own legs for a minute or two.
He was dizzy, but made it.
These baby steps are all milestones right now.
They are going to try to get him in the chair for breakfast in a couple of hours.
He wants his glasses for that.
I'm hoping his asking for that shows his head is clearing a bit.
We were noticing a lot more clarity in his conversation last night.
I am sure today will be a big one for all of us.
The milestones are all steps toward his recovery.
The prayers continue to be felt by all of us.
It's a relief to just rest in the Lord and let him do his will with Adam.
I couldn't do that without so much supportive prayer.
I thank you for that.
