 Again, I started typing this on Friday night, and just now posted it on Sunday.

Dr Lawry came by Friday afternoon and said Wes’ echo looked great.  He said it was probably his body adjusting to the major surgery he had.  He said that they were a little scared on Thursday, but started going down the checklist of things to weed out.  He said you just didn’t have a minor surgery, it was major, and with what your body has gone through in the past (previous surgeries, cancer, radiation, etc), it was just reacting.  Also, this was the second time Wes has been opended up and that could have had something to do with it too.  I asked about the third day after surgery, and he said yes, that could have had a lot to do with it too.  He said the third day is always the worse.  He said the combination of eating, medication and blood probably did the trick.  He said if all goes well he should be release Sunday or Monday. 

 We had visitors today.  Mrs. Shirley and Coach Shirley are in town on vacation, and they dropped by to visit.  We would like to thank them for stopping by.

Hello.  It is about 2:30pm on Sunday afternoon as I type this.  This is the “quiet time” for the patient floors here at The Methodist Hospital.  It seemed fitting to take this time and use it to write a little something to thank everyone that has helped us.

I have been feeling much better as these last few days have passed by.  I should be discharged tomorrow.  We likely will stay the night in Houston before heading home early Tuesday.  Hopefully, we can start to begin getting a bit of normalcy to our lives.

I’d like to now thank everyone that has helped us throughout this and my many other medical adventures.  Amazingly enough I probably don’t know 98% of those of you that have been praying for me for years now.  I don’t know that I can ever fully express my gratitude to those that have helped us.  Only know that if there is ever anything we can do, we will do our best to reciprocate the generosity you have shown us.

THANK YOU ALL!!

I would also like to wish my niece, Sadie, a very Happy 7th Birthday!!  Sorry we couldn’t be there….a pool party certainly sounds fun.

P.S.  As I was about half done writing this, the “code blue” alarm for the person in the next room went off.  Everyone rushed in.  I think he is going to be ok, but it seemed pretty serious for a while.  They have taken him to the ICU.  So as I’ve said before, don’t forget that things can always be worse.
