Aine! That's two in two days! I am running out of tissues, womon!! Beautiful, just beautiful!

I just spoke to Connie. Told her about the beating hearts. Here's the latest; I cannnot believe modern medicine...he may actually go home, at least as far as Connie's, by Sunday!!!

Here ya go:

Drs. have been in they believe pain is from chest tube; need to leave chest tube in longer as there is still enough drainage to warrent it.

P on 2 different pain meds; they will begin staggering the doses so that he can even out more on pain and alertness...basically right now if he's not hurting he's sleeping and if he is awake he is hurting but then he can't go back to sleep because he is hurting until the next dose.

K says he looks so much better - skinny ankles, good color in face and lips.

It is possible, depending on how the next 2 days go that he COULD be discharged from the hospital as early as Sun. 24 jun 01

Connie's email hung in there during the fast and furious critical time, but yesterday it locked up on her and now she is not receiving any email, though I've received what she has sent out to me. She says it will do this, then the next day she'll get two or three days worth, all at once. So, I am still sending your messages and Karen had taken a big batch up and read them to him. Here's what she said about that:

K took the messages up last night and started reading them to him, which he enjoyed very much. He was quite touched with your kind words. K is so touched by all your concern and all that you are doing.

So, I am giving thanks for his continued improvement, a great lessening of pain, and an easy transfer to home, BUT MOST OF ALL, I give thanks that he made it through!!
