Recovery

Eli is out of surgery and in recovery. We were able to be with him about 3 hours after they came in to let us know he was done. He's stable, but paralyzed and sedated. His chest is still open. We were able to bring ourselves to look at it. Luckily, they keep a blanket over him, and I get to peek at his nose and those tiny, tiny toes. Hoping by Monday they'll start weaning him off all the things he is   hooked into. It all depends on when they take him off the ventilator.

He is just going along with what the machines and medicines tell him to do. It's hard for me to see him like this...on a ventilator, tubes everywhere. It's an emotional time for Danny and I. Very emotional. 

We want to send out one huge thank you for all the prayers and messages. Your continuing support has been amazing and we appreciate all of you. Please keep praying. We have a long road ahead and the next 48 hours are very critical.
