What an amazing ordeal and wonderous work was done on this snowstorm Monday at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. David went into the OR at 7:30 and the two teams of surgeons finished their artistry by 6:30. Our dear friend Bunny Mosley stayed with me all day and son Paul came several times. Paul and I visited David in the ICU. David's small spot of gum cancer is gone and he has a new grafted jaw bone (minus a right leg fibula). He would not want you to see him with all those monitors and tubes and drains and IVs and pain medications but the vital signs monitor showed that David was diligently working at recovery tonight. He will be in the ICU for 3 days or so and then shifted to a ward bed where I can spend the night.
I will keep you posted on this blogsite because I will not have the energy/time/emotional stamina to respond to individual e-mails this week.

I'm glad to hear the surgery went so well. I hope Dave is resting comfortably and they are keeping the pain down. So when do you start walking again? I keep hearing that they get people up and walking just hours after surgery. Yes, I know, this will be slower. I am just kidding you. A little humor probably helps.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, our prayers are with you both. I know this is an ordeal for you as well, Jean.
Maybe you should find out how many countries are praying for David this week. I saw Alain LaBrique's comment. Phil is in Nicaragua, so that is another one.
Love to you both. Connie and Phil
We are happy to hear that David's surgery went well; David and his family are in our prayer.
