A Restful Afternoon

Today dad had a restful afternoon. The nurses have been doing their best to keep him comfortable. His medication included both a pain and sedative. Tomorrow they will be bringing dad in for surgery at 4pm (for the trec).

Mom said he is discouraged and disappointed that he is not getting better. He is also anxious about the surgery tomorrow. I think it is more of a procedure under normal circumstances - but because of dad's critical health it is being treated as a surgery.

Prayer Requests:
  • That dad has a restful night sleep
  • For mom to continue to be strong - but admit it if she needs help
  • For dad to feel peace about the surgery tomorrow and that he not worry about it all day long
  • For dad and mom to see small signs of improvement to lift their spirits
  • For the surgeon, nurses and others that will take part in the surgery tomorrow
  • For the surgery to produce a clean trec, clear airway and that dad will be able to speak and eat when it is over
