Kevin and Allison left this morning around 9 am. Long day drive for them. Pray that both of them can get back into daily life for a little while. Tim has 68 staples holding his back incision together. They did a dressing change this afternoon. It looks clean and dry :) Tim is pretty sore and very nauseated. He did dangle at the bedside for a minute. Broke out is a big sweat. Hard work!!! Long day. Rest. Doctors comes in. Rest. Pain service comes in. Rest. Physical therapist comes in. Rest. Try not to throw up. Rest. Pumps start beeping. Rest. Nurses come and and roll you to the other side. Try not to throw up..... You get the picture. The night goes about the same :( Tim still smiles and gives his mom a hug. I told him "He is the MAN now with dad gone and he needs to take care of me :)" One day at a time. On our knees before God. So thankful we are this far!
