WED & THUR 9/24,25/08

I got to Searcy around 11:30 Wed morning. The doctors had first said the surgery would be at 2:00, then they changed it to 4:00 so he got to eat breakfast and lunch before he was taken down. The nurse that came after him was amazed at "The FAmily". He said he didn't know if the waiting room was big enough. Daddy told him that this wasn't near all of us!!! :-) The surgery actually lasted about 45 min. then they took him back to his room. They brought him his dinner but the nurses was still checking and monitoring him and he had to lay flat for 4 hours before he was suppose to move!!! WOW!! Now that was really a hard thing for him, but he did good. Actually Trish & I have been very proud of him, he is trying to do everything that they tell him to do without too many "COMMENTS". I stayed with him Wednesday night and all day Thursday, then came home. Trish went home Wednesday afternoon late to go and start preparing for the Patterson Runion that they are having at Little Hill this weekend.

Thanks again for all the family & friends that are making him feel better every day. He loves talking and visiting!!!

I should have had a register for everyone to sign in his room, it is just hard to believe that so many people know him and keep up with him. Keep the prayers coming, and the calls & visits, he loves it!!!
