December 2, 10pm

Well today has been another successful one. A hard day on dad with the trach surgery and four hours of Dialysis but he has been able to keep himself stable with his stats. Not much to report on really except that all seems to be holding well. They are going to try to wake him up tomorrow just a little bit and see how he does.

Moms Plan: She will be up there tomorrow around 10:30am and there until the 10pm visitation. She will be departing promptly at 10:30pm to head home and get rest. If anything changes with this, we will post it as a new blog later tomorrow, as of tonight though, this is the plan.

Prayer Request: That his body will rest and recover quickly from the trach and that the trach will continue to be successful and not cause any problems. That the nurses will be guided appropriately tomorrow on when and how much to have dad awake and give him the rest that he needs also. Dad will adjust well to the trach and accept the changes with ease and not have any anxiety with his current situation. Of course the healing of his body internally, externally from head to toes and that he will just have peace and God's love surrounding him...and truely feel that comfort.

Once again thanks for all the prayers and support. Visitors have been a great support for our whole family and especially mom. I know some hesitate in coming and wonder if it is really okay or been inappropriately told that visitors were not welcomed....but again visitors ARE welcomed. It is great to see how mom's face lights up when she all of the sudden sees a face coming off the elevators that she knows. If you want to make sure that mom or someone will be up there the waiting room number is the best way to find out: 713-441-3311. God Bless!
