Friday morning update

Hi everyone,

This morning has been better for Curt. The pain from the surgery is lessening, and for the first time he actually felt like watching the news on tv (we’ve been keeping it quiet in the room since the surgery at his request). The doctor came by and is pleased with his progress, and the infection appears to be under control…his temp was just 99 during the night. They had him up and walking yesterday, but it was torturous! More of the same today, I’m afraid…no mercy around here…hahaha!

Seriously though, the sooner they have you up and around, the sooner the digestive system will kick back in and you can being to eat again…five days with no food does wonders for the figure! Please pray for increasing intestinal activity so the doctor is able to give the go ahead for the food to begin.

Back from a quick break – the nurse just had Curt up and walking down the hall. The pain was much better than yesterday – yay! The nurses are wonderful here…they are so caring and encouraging, and very informative. It’s a beautiful day in Kahului…our room gets the morning sun, which is a cheerful reminder that the “Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, His compassions never fail. They are new every morning!”

Thanks again for your prayer support through everything! In times like this we realize just how precious our church family is to us!

Love you,
Patti and Family

  4. That is such good news. Up and walking--WOW! That doesn't seem possible so soon after surgery, but he's doing it. He is a courageous fighter and that's serving him well. We continue to pray for strength and full recovery, hope and good medical care. May the Lord continue to comfort and encourage you all.
    Much love, the Johnsons
