Hi All!
I've been busy writing that book..lol
My short term memory is shot due to lack of sleep.
I am pretty sure the long term one was gone before this all happened.
I am thinking we'd better not plan on any advance from the publisher!
Adam's day was about what we expected.
There seems to be a balance between getting the pain under control and getting an oral option.
Morphine works, but is IV.
Oxycodione didn't work, but is oral.
Today we had a few going at different intervals.
I have faith they will figure it out, but it is hard to watch.
Most of the family has gone home.
They will be drifting in and out as we move forward toward rehab.
I don't want to waer anyone out yet.
We will have weeks of rehab in our future!
Saint Lynsey will leave tomorrow.
I will be lost without her..not to mention Adam.
She is just what he has needed.
She is a good supportive friend and yet pushes him a little.
What a special friendship they have!
Adam was up in the chair today a few times.
He is doing great with his breathing and exercises.
He had 2 units of blood this morning.
His color perked up after the first unit.
That was so good to see!
We will see what his blood count is in the morning.
I hope it is on the rise.
The next big hurdle is food.
He has no appetite, and nothing tastes right.
He told me to stop saying jello, he is tired of it.
I should have an update in the morning.
His progress is so good, I am betting he will be going home before Monday.
Our blessings today are for his continued progress, his stable vitals, his lack of fever (infection) and that day 2 is ALMOST over.
They tell me tomorrow is much easier.
I will keep you posted.

We will pray that those blessings continue! I can't believe how much he is doing after surgery Monday! Good luck with food! It is so foreign to me to not be interested in food--- maybe that's just the baby talking! :)
