Jeff had surgery again yesterday. The doctor said everything looked good and they closed him just a little more. He is scheduled to go back in on Wednesday and Friday. The surgeon indicated that he hoped to close him by Friday if possible. He has more fluid that has built up around his right lung. He has a thoracentesis again today. Since he is off the sedation medication he will feel this one and be in more pain. He is in a great amount of pain. The muscles are being pulled across to close him is very painful. They are also going to start Jeff on a diuretic to help remove some of the fluid off of his body. Jeff is terribly swollen.
He told us yesterday that he is hungry so I felt that was a good sign. He also felt it when they flushed his NG tube before surgery. That was the first time he felt anything go into his stomach. He asked the nurse what was going into his stomach.
Please continue to pray for his healing so he can get to rehab and then come home.
