Successful Strides

The surgery was successful, and Uncle John now has a tracheotomy in place to help him breathe. Aunt Maureen relayed this morning how nice it is to actually see his face! Uncle John is however getting frustrated when he is awake, as his blood pressure keeps fluctuating signifying agitation. As his kids always say, he is a creature of habit, and being stuck in a hospital bed is far from his usual routine. We need to pray that he can remain at peace as the medical team helps him exercise his lungs so that he can breathe on his own.  He is making remarkable strides every day, and we need to pray that he can continue to have strength to keep up the fight.  Uncle John is headed in the right direction, but we need to remember that it is only by God's Grace that he is even on the path to recovery in the first place.  I know Uncle John, and I know he would want us to continually thank God for all He has done throughout this experience.  So let's all say a prayer of thanks tonight for all God has done, and pray that He can continue to amaze us through his healing power with our beloved John!
