Day After Surgery

Bleeding looks to be under control.  They will continue to monitor.  The breathing tube has quite a large leak and is not keepig the lung inflated adequately.  They are going to remove the old one and put in a larger one to solve the situation.  Johnathon had a good quiet night last night and we hope that this continues.

I am trying to get Becky to get away for a little bit today to get some rest.  Hopefully this will be able to occur soon.

Special thanks to Julie and her family for providing us Thanksgiving dinner.  I am still stuffed from all we ate.  It turned out to be a really good meal with family and friends.  Thanks again Julie for making this happen.  Also special thanks to everyone on the 9th floor for providing a room to hold our meal in and for the food you shared.  By the way if you want some great pumpkin muffins see Rachel.  I could eat those all day. Thanks Rachel.

Special thanks to the Evans and Pearl family for spending the day donating blood.  They made it a family affair.  From my family to yours thank you very much.

Johnathon is still needing blood.  Since surgery we have used roughly 12 units.  I have been informed that several blood drives have been arranged.  As soon as I get the complete schedule I will post time, place, and date for those of you who still want to give.

Thanks again for all of the wishes of support.
