Well, heart surgery is light years ahead of where it was 17 years ago! Daddy was already moved to a room today. When he had his valve replaced in 1993 - he was still flat on his back and pretty much out of it. He didn't get moved to a room for many, many days after surgery.
He's already been sitting up in a chair since yesterday. He's had some of his tubes removed and pain medicine given. He's fussed at the nurses and then told them they were angels! They will have him up and walking soon. That's going to be the really tough part.
He is in pain, but the medicine is mostly controlling it.
The most important thing is that he's very, very happy. He knows there's pain involved in the recovery, but you know Stan - he's a fighter!
Our family loves you all and your support and prayers.
love, Laura
