Surgery Update Numero Tres
We're in his room with him right now! He's rather puffy right now and his bandages come down to the tip of his nose, but he's here with us. Everyone says he's done very well. His bandages almost make it look like he's just got a big white winter cap on pulled low on his head. He's pretty quiet right now since he's still sleeping off some of the anesthesia. He's got an IV going to give him some extra fluids and he's on oxygen for the time being. Both of us are rather hungry since we could barely eat anything this morning and now that its all over we're realizing we haven't really eaten much of anything since 6:30 this morning and its just past 2pm now.
We're still trying to figure out the lay of the land here in the PCA section of the hospital, but it sounds like one of us should be here at all times to watch over him, which puts a little monkey wrench into our plan of getting Rachel out to the RPA 15th anniversary party on Friday since her parents and sister are going of of town for Rachel's cousin Apryle's wedding in Iowa.
We wish we were going to go, partially since she made it to ours in Minny and its always good to see family since we're so spread out across the country now, but its pretty much out of the question right now.
We'll figure out what we can do to get out of here to eat at least and we're thinking we'll switch off nights of who sleeps here with him so the other one can get a full night's sleep. Anyways we just thought we'd let you all know we're all back together again and he's doing as well as can be expected.

I just went by the office and was able to get the URL for your blog. I've been thinking about you, your husband and Isaiah and am so glad that the surgery went well yesterday. I am sure that all of this is so incredibly tough, but it sounds like you have a lot of strength, faith and support. I'll keep all of you in my prayers.
Best,
CC Davis
