Things overall are going well with dad, at the same time a slight step back. After the plugs were put in they found that a portion of his right lung colapased...they said that his is common after the insert of the plugs and something they regularly watch for. This is just a portion of the lung. They are going to monitor it over the next 24 hours to see if it will fix itself. If not then they will insert a tube for a couple of days, assist the lung, and then see if they can take it out. Please add this to your prayers.
I saw him at 2pm and he was still very sleepy from the anathesia, was able to mouth to us that his eyes burned and needed them wiped off, that his mouth was dry, and that he was in pain where the ports were put in near his shoulder...we were able to tell the nurse and take care of the problems. Other then that he could hardly keep his eyes open. They just got the dialysis started around 1:30 and are not going to do physical therapy or do anything with the ventilator until tomorrow. They felt that he needed his rest more then anything, which we agree also.

I know you guys are just plain exhausted. We are praying for stamina and peace for you as you hold vigil with Tim.
I KNOW how uncomfortable he is. I have been there and will do what I can through prayer to help him shoulder this burden. You all try and get some rest.
