Friday, October 9

We are back "home" in our room after the surgery to replace John's pacemaker/defibrillator. All went okay, he's hurting pretty badly but can only take Tylenol. Hopefully by tomorrow it will be better. The surgery went well which is good, unfortunately we had to do it at all since we didn't get that magic phone call for a heart. At least now we don't have to worry about the battery giving out which would have been a disaster. The doctor just called to check on him, I didn't actually talk to the doctor since he was involved with another patient, so that was nice. He said it all looked good inside of John, as far as the lead wires that connect to the heart and all of the other hardware goes. So we are back into waiting mode, and trying to keep him well until then.

Thanks again for all of the prayers, this surgery was not exactly routine and we are thankful that it turned out well. A few days of taking it very easy and then he should be able to feel well enough to at least go out to the grocery store or convenience store to get a paper.
