Refreshing naps were had at the Taeger household. Thank you for your prayers because we have been holding up well under them.
As for Dad, Mom called Debbie, Dad's nurse, and got the afternoon update.
Debbie says Dad is holding up well under the lingering sedation. There has been minimal bleeding (he has two drainage tubes in his chest) and that is excellent. A+. He opened his eyes once when she was tending to him but we went back to sleep.
The speed in which he wakes up depends on how quickly his body metabolizes the anesthesia. She is pleased with his progress.
Mom and I will stop by to visit him this evening at 10 pm for the latest visiting hours in hopes that he will have metabolized enough anesthesia to know we are there.
The new hurdles for us here at the house will be to cover for all of Dad's chores. For example, as I blog Mom is taking out the trash and remembering that the trash gets picked up tomorrow. Pray for Mom as she takes over two roles in the house. Dad will be out of commission for at least a month. Maybe the first job we will give him is to take over posting on this blog...

Love this blog...love your humor and know that you have peace that passes all understanding because of our Lord! And all the prayers offered up on your behalf. I only know Dr. Taeger from ortho at Ste. Gen. but we love him and have been praying all day. You are a precious family blessed to have him as husband and father. He shares his love of Christ and the joy of the Lord to everyone! God Bless!
Thank you for keeping all of us posted! We love Ernie and think that he is top notch in all that he does at work and for the Lord. We will continue to lift all of you up in our prayers. If you need anything, we are just a phone call away! May God shine His face upon you!
Our love and prayers are with the entire Taeger family. The children are praying as they go to bed. God's timing is perfect as we are studying 1st Peter as we heard the news this evening. We know He will sustain you all through this trial and that He will be glorified. Love in Christ,
The Levy Family
