Today hasn't been great. He had to have a hose placed in his nose to run down to his stomach to remove stomach acid due to all the reflux problems he's been having. (He's had hiccups for 2 days now!) They said issues like this are pretty common after a big surgery like this. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, for him and mom! (She hasn't left his side since 5 am. This woman deserves a medal or something!!)
Dr. White (the surgeon) changed the dressing on his back today and said it is healing really nicely and he's pleased with everything. When the physical therapist came, dad walked (with the walker) to the nurses station, so we were very happy about that! That is by far the most he walked so far. He still has some numbness in his legs and feet, but they are hoping he regains more feeling with time. Please pray for that!
Thanks for all the encouraging words, cards, emails & calls!
God's love surrounds us!

Great family picture by the way. Jane gave me an update yesterday. Karen is a wonderful blogger and has great updates. I am glad your recovery has started. I know it will have ups and downs, but I also know you and know you are tough enough to get through it. I hope Debbie is taking care of herself. See you soon.
