Day 3

Day 3 has come and almost gone. Dad continues to do well and we’re all so pleased. Dr. A and Dr. Toma were in to see him today and both said that he’s doing well. Right now he is on the epidural for pain control and it is very effective, tomorrow the epidural will be removed and he will be onto oral pain killers. After the last surgery he did very well, but this time there was more invasive things done so we’re praying that the pain killers will be just as effective. I’ll (Joy) will be heading home to my family tomorrow to make sure that the kids haven’t tied and gagged poor old Dan, and Amy will be here until Monday. So if you haven’t had a chance to stop by yet make sure to stop in and say Hi to her!

Continue to pray for:
- total and complete healing
- against infection
- that the repair to Dad’s colon will heal and that there will be no leaks
- that he will continue to cough to prevent pneumonia ( this is very painful for him)
- for effective pain control

Thank you so much for being our friends and loving and supporting us through this time in our life.
