A Brighter Day

Today has been a progressive day with Aaron getting food (broth) for the first time since Monday evening. He has also been disconnected from some things although he's now getting 2 units of blood. The surgeon said he didn't lose much blood but needed a little boost, thus the "red" juice. Today we met with the pharmacist to begin learning his medicine regiment. That will definitely take some learning on our part. Tomorrow should be another step in the right direction with solid foods hopefully. That will make life so much easier. His creatine is 1.2 and got to that point very quickly after surgery. His sugar level has been 80-100 and absolutely no insulin. He is still pinching himself that they are checking glucose once per day as he would stick those fingers 4-5 times per day. We feel so very blessed to have even had this opportunity. Thanks to all again for all the prayers and phone calls. We especially thank our family for their caring & the many phone calls plus texts from them. And we also are grateful for our six grandchildren for their love and calls. Mostly we are grateful to the Lord and the family who donated their loved ones organs for this to be possible. We pray for comfort for them.

Until later...
