We had a very good day today! Curt spent the first night in ICU (just like he did for the first surgery) and today about noon was moved down to a regular room. No monitors or IV's - hooray! He doesn't like being hooked up to all that stuff. We're so grateful to have a private room (for nice, quiet times of rest) that looks out over a greenbelt of trees and Moanalua valley. Heaven! There's even a window that opens and lets a little breeze into the room. Not your usual hospital experience. Thank you Lord for the little things that bless so extraordinarily!
Curt's starting with liquids to make sure all his systems start up again correctly, so for lunch we smuggled in a Jamba Juice and miso soup. That was a hit!
He was awake quite awhile this afternoon, and he and Jim watched a movie while I went back to the hotel for a nap. I will take the night shift...they have been letting me spend the night in the room (another blessing). We are praying for an uneventful few days of recuperation until he is released to fly back to Maui No Ka Oi. We miss you guys!!
Love you,
Patti

ReplyDeleteThank you Lord for the good report, another example of how He answers "knee-mail". We continue to hold you all in our thoughts and prayers. Rest and heal up good Curt.

Well, that's a relief! What a great post-op report. Praying things will continue in the same vein (I know, terrible pun)and that all of you will be home soon where food smuggling is no longer necessary.

Our Heavenly Father loves us so much, and cares about the little things that mean alot. A window to open, a green valley view, private room...little details that He uses to remind us that HE is right there with us, through it all and loves us with a love we cannot fully comprehend. Praying for speedy healing, good spirits and a quick return home.
