Josh's arms and hands were moving non-stop. We don't know if he was shooting guns or if he was leading music, but whatever he was doing, he was doing it for a long time. In fact, he had been so active that Ben thought there was a good possibility that he might not be able to do surgery tonight. Ben was also concerned that Josh's blood was still too thin, so maybe tomorrow would be better. But then he expressed apprehension that the pressure that would build up overnight would be too extreme. He did a short neurological test on Josh and finally determined that surgery tonight was the way to go. Surgery started at 11:30.
The surgeon called Paul at 12:45 to tell him that surgery went well. Ben had to place the drain twice, but it worked the 2nd time. So, for now, everything is okay.
Thank you all for your prayers. We so much appreciate them. Sleep well.

ReplyDeleteTerrible night. You guys must be exhausted.
ReplyDeleteThere is something beautiful about giving more than you have. And that's exactly what you two are doing. Maybe it's beautiful because you discover you have a lot more than you knew you had... maybe it's because it takes a lot of humble spirit to keep hanging on.... maybe it's both. I thank you both, I admire you. love and kisses. Mom
DeleteThat's deep and poetic, Mom. Thanks for writing.
