Happy Monday

Good morning!



Good news!



Finally.



Yesterday, they removed the surgical drains. We had to fuss but after a six hour "trial" they removed the NG tube. It was difficult last evening because the last of Master's IV's, number 7, blew up in His arm. He was screeching in horrible pain, and since it was exactly at shift change, there wasn't a nurse to be found anywhere. In desperation, I went from room to room, and finally found a nurse in another patient's room, and practically dragged her back to Him.



This morning, He is taking clear liquids. He is having fully formed bowel movements. Is this too much information? His pain levels are down to just achy. He is actively advocating with the doctors and nurses on His own behalf -- "NO, I am not having another IV established unless you can show me an imminent medical necessity."



It might be that He will not be going home just yet, but I'm thinking we're close!



Thank you all for your good wishes and healing energies sent His way this last week.
