We have had a roller coaster of day! Dr. Wan (from Dr. Puga's service) has spent the day in Chris's room. Chris's numbers have been all over the board, but are stable now. They removed a lot of blood and fluid from his chest- about 2 liters . His nose was still bleeding even after they put him back on the vent-they finally stopped the blood thinner so that bleeding should be under control. We saw Chris first thing this morning and not again until almost 3pm. It was good to see him. After we saw him this afternoon, Carolyn and I went to get a bite to eat-while we were gone he awakened-the nurse explained all that had gone on during the day, had Chris move his arms and legs and then asked if wanted to go back to sleep (yes!) So. . .he is being kept sedated and comfortable. Much of the machines and drips he is on are the same as when he came out of surgery so it is like we are back to square one, except he has had some time for his incisions to heal and such. Thank you for your Thoughts and Prayers-please keep sending them this way. Mary Jo
