Jeff Head Update for 4/29/10

I have no idea if I'm doing this right, so I hope somebody can fix whatever I mess up. I am so sorry for not posting sooner, but the last couple of days have been a blur. The surgery on Tuesday didn't actually start until noon even though we signed in at 7:30 am and they took Jeff to the OR around 10:30. We got our final report at 10 pm. By 11:00 pm I was able to go to his room in the ICU. He did very well during the surgery. Coming out of the anesthesia was a little difficult and we have spent the last day and a half trying to get him on the right meds that will balance his comfort level with the need to "recover" before the next surgery. Last night was the first time since Monday night that either of us got more than an hour or so of real sleep. You wouldn't think six hours is very much, but at this point it was heaven.
Jeff is doing very well with vitals, breathing, etc. He has not had any food or liquids by mouth and today he will get some ice chips and maybe liquids. He's not too concerned, though, because he doesn't want to have to worry about the prep for tomorrow. The surgery for tomorrow will start at 6:30 am. It is expected to last about 14 hours. I will try to do better getting back to you after this next one.
Thank you all for the tremendous outpouring of prayers, love, and concern. It means a great deal to us to know you are there. Our faith, our family, and our friends have made it possible for us to get this far. I know they will carry us through.

Gail, My husband, Jeff, has been keeping me informed about this journey you and your family are now on. Sounds like Jeff is getting the best medical treatment possible; this is a huge blessing. And, the Great Physician our merciful God has his best interest at heart. Praying that not only Jeff feels the prayers of thousands praying for him but that you and your family do as well. Blessings, Lisa

You and Jeff and your family remain in my prayers Gail, I’ve been a little low profile lately due to some hospital ‘stuff’ going on in our family (nothing like you’re dealing with) so I’ve not been on FR as usual - but you all are in my thoughts and prayers always.
The Lord be with you all.
