God is Good!!

Well today is another day in the hospital after Marsha's surgery. Its been a long week and I am losing track of days. I have been spending the night with her and helping with her care. Its been a blessing to me to stay and help her with different things. I feel like I can really show her how much I love her. I am allowed to do things that many who are not medically trained to do (I feel privileged). So here is what we did today.....

First around 7 am Dr. Rutledge came in and visited with us. He looked at her tummy and said we are doing well. He wanted us to get up three times today. After he left we slept a little more. The RN (Laura - One of the best nurses) came in to assess My Marsha and help us get started. The first time we took a walk we went out the room and about four room down and were done. Came back. Took some pain medicine and slept. The second time Marsha walked with Annie. They walked all the way to the nurses station and back. Then tonight we walked down and around the block (Nurses station) and back. When we got back in the room she stopped at the sink and stood while she brushed her teeth. Then went and climbed back into bed. She did get a little dizzy, otherwise she did awesome!!.

Annie came today. Also Jeremiah, and I heard that IG Meghan also came. I was at home for a little while. Tried to sleep between 13 phone calls, and 10 text messages, and people knocking at the door. So the four hours I thought I would get a nap in didn't exist. That's ok. I got many things done that needed to be done.

So .. Thanks for your prayers. Thanks for those who have come by and visit. We will be here till Friday or Saturday. As we find out, we will pass it along to all of you.

Luv Ya
Tom

Hang in there. And go catch some Z's while others are there to visit. You need some sleep, too.
