quick surgery update

this morning james had the surgery to implant the pain device and everything has gone well. he was in at 7:30am, the procedure was over by 9am and i saw him after recovery at 11am. he was so groggy still from being put under, and had a beautiful head of messy bed head. it is funny.

the pain pump has been running and he hasn't mentioned any feelings of intense pain at all. he is sore from where they did the implant, but of course that is expected. it is 3:00 now and he got up for a bit and is now back resting. he asked for an additional pain med, to maybe help with the soreness, but again was the first time he's said he wanted anything.

so it looks like the medication mixture they have running in his pain pump is working well. he has a big wrap around his belly, to keep things from moving around, to avoid any type of infection. as he drifts back to sleep i am going to run home and get some things to stay overnight with him.

thank you for praying today and we will be sure to let you know how things are progressing!
praise God for allowing him to have this surgery, and for it showing positive results so far. we continue to live with an attitude of hope... for today and for the future.
