Jeff had surgery again yesterday and he had a thoracentesis(to remove fluid from around the lung) done again yesterday. They did not get him to surgery until 4:30 in the afternoon due to emergency surgeries. They put a different dressing on his wound. Instead of the wound VAC they have a velcro type closure on the wound. I am hopeful that they will have him closed by the end of the week. He has three drainage tubes in his belly to drain the wound.
They got him off the ventilator which is great. However due to all the medication they have had him on to keep him sedated and the length of his illness he is now delusional. He asked me to kill him when I first got to the hospital and then he thought we were trying to kill him because we are keeping him restrained. He has to be restrained because he is trying to pull his tubes out.
Please pray that his nerves will settle down. The kids really want to see their dad but they cannot see him like he is.
