Jon’s chest tube and heart defibrillators were removed today (Thin wires laid on top of the heart that extend out the chest wall so his heart could be jumped like a car battery if necessary). Without all of the tubes he was able to walk a lap around the ICU with our mom, which was very exciting. He felt a lot better after walking and he is hoping to take another short stroll this evening. He’s going to try to only have morphine at bedtime, and take vicodin during the day so he’ll be less groggy. Tricia might sleep at home tonight if Jon doesn’t need her, which is good since she hasn’t gotten much sleep the past few days. Seth, I passed on your suggestion for Jon to watch Lost tonight. He hasn’t been alert enough to watch anything yet, but hopefully he’ll start staying awake more with his medicaions being less sedating. Thank you all for the continued support and prayers. Jon and our whole family really appreciate it.
Missing you man, it will be good to have your back here soon.
