"I missed you. So glad you are here."
"How was last night?"
"My night nurse was awful. I didn't get any sleep."
"Were you in the chair all night?"
"Yes she never offered to get me into the bed."

So that's how my wife guilt is going right now. I am not leaving until after shift change tonight and I speak with the night nurse. IF I leave.
Now for the good news. PT came just after I got here this morning. They got him up quickly and he went on a FULL lap around the TPACU.
Goals for today:
- 3 more times of 1 lap
- 1 time of 2 laps
The anesthesia is now out of his system so he's starting to feel the pain more. They are giving him a lidocaine patch for local numbing on his abdomen. They are bumping the epidural up by a 1/4th so he still isn't back to yesterday's level. But it is more to combat the anesthesia going away.
Prayer Requests:
- That I don't flip out on the charge nurse about last night.
- Pain management
- Continued progress
- Rest
- That the girls and I stay healthy with the cool front and activities.
- Wisdom for today's team
Thank you for walking this road with us.
- Mel
