Day after Surgery

The surgeon, interns and nurses who have Mark under their care are all very pleased with Mark's recovery from the surgery. He was moved from ICU to a regular room on the neurology floor which is thankfully, much quieter. The view from his oversized room with large windows on two corners overlooks the city. The afternoon sun is toasty warm, a nice change from cold AC elsewhere.
With the monitors removed, there are only a few medicines, including minimal pain medication. Mark enjoyed 3 regular meals today. I left the hospital tonight after he was settled in a recliner, watching the All Star baseball game. (Do you think he noticed that I was gone?)
We'll soon learn when he will come home. With this quick initial recovery, I am reminded of the verse in Ephesians 3:20, "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His poower that is at work within us, to him be glory for ever and ever!"

How wonderful to hear such happy news, dear Mark! You are constantly in my prayers. You have so many who love you and so many who, like me, know what a truly inspirational part of our lives you are. The loving lessons that you have taught me over the years have kept me hopeful and Faithful. May God Bless. Lots of love to you and Nan and the family. Mary Lew
