I wish I could individually thank every single person who has sent well wishes, asked for updates, said a prayer, email a question or asked for an update, but then... That would take months!
Paul is doing well. They have removed him for the ventilator. He is somewhat awake and talking. The doctors want him to rest tonight as now the healing needs to began all over again. Paul actually said "Caddie Shack", What he meant was "Groundhog Day" Because afterwords he said "Deja vu"
We are not completely out of the woods. The good news is they have moved almost half of the I.V. Medications, his heart is a steady rhythm with very few PVC or missed beats, but he is still on the heart regulating medications.
Tonight he needs to rest and breath deeply so as not to get pneumonia. He will be getting
respiratory treatments every four hours. If he becomes to tired from breathing or the breathing becomes labored they will put him back on the ventilator. They are checking his blood surgery every couple of hours and giving insulin as needed. His temperature has been within normal limits throughout the day.
I will be going to sleep in a bed tonight. Elizabeth has rented a place for the month so that I have a place to get away from the hospital to get some I disturbed rest and a hot shower. Tonight I really need both. I will try to get back before the 6:30 am Resident Rounds and the nurses shift change.
To all our friends and families, yes we have many families..... Thank you
Jo and Paul

When I was stuck at the hospital with our younger son for a couple days, the most mentally relaxing thing I did was take a long hot shower. Find soap that smells nice and use up all of the hot water. Regards to you & Paul from Minnesota
