MORNING

hey get those duck shoes out...looking not so pretty out ther with all that rain.. ed got off the vent, he still has the jp drain in though along with the nj tube in his nose....the 2 things now are his blood pressure that is running low along with his heart rate which is running high....now to get those 2 things happening he will be better each day, and i know i was told the vent would be in till thurs but it came out early...they finally got him a bed big enough he was sure cramped due to his being so tall his feet or head was always hanging off

So glad to hear things are beginning to look up for Ed. He has had a long hard road of it hasnt he. I hope you are holding up ok under all this. my prayers are with both of you. Carla

been long and has me worn out...but actually all in all he is doing just great and i have to tell him everyday is gonna get better...and finally he is back on the road to recovery after this revision was done, oooh he is not gonna be happy with starting over on the liquids either...

So glad to hear he's off the ventilator How are you holding up through all of this? Hugs and kisses to ya both

Angie, I was thinking about him all day yesterday. God is in this and will take care of Ed and you. Keep the faith. Dan

VERY happy to see things are looking up for Ed. He might not be happy about starting liquids again, but just think, he can get a second go around and that fabulous first few weeks of weight dropping off!

OMG DAN!! Love the new picture!!!!! You are looking good man!!! Linda

Thanks Linda. Dan

All I can say is God sure answers prayers!! Give ole Eddie our best and remind him it will be easier for him to start over and LOOSE Quick like at the beginning then it will be for us who CAN eat... Tad bit jealous here... Linda

Good mornign everyone! Angie, I'm glad Ed is doing better. I'm going to have to go back and try to catch up on all the posts I've missed. I take it that Ed had to have a revision..? I did at 6 months post-op. I think the further out you are, and the more use to food you are again, the harder going back to stage 1 is. A guy had to have a revision right before I had mine and he was about 1 year out. To me, that would have been worse than mine. Since Ed isn't that far post-op, he should do fine. How much has he lost so far? Tell him to keep his chin up..as much as the short beds would allow him to anyway..lol. You take care too sweetie! Sherri
