Lamentations 3:22-2
A picture of the beautiful sunset outside our window of the waiting room last night.
We got to see Field around 8pm last night. We stayed for awhile and then were encouraged to get some rest by both the doctors and nurses. We came down to the Ronald McDonald House and then trekked right back up to the ICU for no reason other than the fact that we just wanted to be with our sweet boy. We didn't feel right about leaving him just yet. He was very stable and looked so peaceful and once again, the nurses really encouraged us to go get some rest. We slept a few hours at the Ronald McDonald House.
We are now back in the ICU and just watched the surgical team do "rounds.". This consists of about 20 doctors, surgeons, and nurses that report on the latest for each patient. The report on Field was that he had a long and very difficult surgery yesterday, has been very stable since surgery, had a few episodes of high heart rate overnight but controlled with medication and sedation, overall stable and so far so good. Today they will wean him off of a few medications and he will start to slowly wake back up. In fact, just a few minutes ago he opened his eyes looked over at us and grabbed my hand. Please pray that we would get our same Field back very soon. We don't expect him to be bouncing like usual, but it would be nice to see a smile soon.
The overnight recovery was just what we prayed for. So now we press on towards that goal of getting our Field back and getting him well so we can get back home very soon.
The support has been amazing and we do read every comment and every text but we are just sorry we can't reply to everyone right now.
Until later, have a great day and please keep the prayers a'comin!!
