update on grandson, thanks

Well, ladies I'm sure your prayers have helped yet again.

Believe it or not DGS has been sent home this morning! Open heart surgery on Monday and home on Thurs! Amazing!

According to Mom, his color is now normal (hasn't been for some time), spirits seems good, but he is still in considerable pain from his ribs and they have been told to expect this for some weeks. He has been going for short walks around his hospital room and into the hall way. He can not sit up by himself yet or get in or out of bed and since he knows it is going to hurt to have someone lift him, he panics whenever it is time to get up for the bathroom or a walk. His Mom is very nervous about taking him home (they live 2 hours away from hospital, I had thought it was only 1), but the docs said he was good to go.

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Marilyn, I know a little something about that 'getting up' pain. After his bypass, DH had a sort of canvas band around his chest and when he needed to sit up or lie back, he grasped the handles on it. Don't exactly know how that works but it was such a help somehow to keep those mending painful ribs from just killing him. If there's not a 'little fellow' size available, you can bet we'll help you figure out how to make one. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Polly

Wow Marilyn -

That is some fantastic news. Will continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers as he recovers.
