Saw Dad this evening and he is doing really well. He has a new nurse named Josie and she has a perfect "nurse voice," all sweet and gentle.
Josie said she will start to force him to wake up sometime around midnight and if he does well as he wakes up she will remove his breathing tube and he can start breathing on his own.
Though he is sedated and it seems unlikely he hears us, when Mom and I were talking to him his blood pressure went up. Josie theorized that he could hear us. So we told him about the day and all the support and prayers.
He looks a little yellow in the pictures but it is mainly from the yellow-brown antibiotic wash they put on his skin right before surgery. His color really is good and Josie said that everything is going perfectly up to this point. Praise God, The Healer!
We will update the blog in the morning, reporting how his night went. Mom, Caroline and I will be going in to see him around 10 am. We expect that he should be awake and communicating then!
