Sunday morning.....Lou is being transferred from ICU to a regular room for at least another 5 days. He had a rough time, which we all anticipated, but has fought his way through. He is sitting up, joking with the nurses. His major difficulty is eating and swallowing since his throat area is weak, probably even before the surgery.
We appreciate everyone's prayers, concern and love. Hopefully the most critical phase is past.
This has been a good 4 "Lou's post surgery days" in the life of Grandma G.
"The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness." (Psalms 41:3)
