Today was just a big long lazy day. I sat with Nate this morning for two hours before I left again to go to church, and he didn't ever know I was there. It was so great to see him resting, with his heart rate in the 60's instead of the 90's as it has been all week. When I got back to the hospital, he seemed so rested.
They've been giving the diuretics today, and his electrolytes are all out of whack now. He's been getting bag after bag of IV calcium, magnesium, and potassium chloride. He has so many IV fluids ordered that they have to hang one after another just to keep up. They are taking very good care to make sure he has everything he needs before going into surgery tomorrow.
The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow around noon. Praying for a successful closing of the wound, and stability and stamina for Nate. We're anxious to get this surgery behind us so Nate can focus on healing. I'll update as soon as I can.
At 11:00 in Chicago (high noon in Boston) we'll say a special prayer for the Hardys and Dr. Lambert. You can do this guys! Sleep well tonight...and we'll look forward to hearing all the good news post-surgery!
