It's been 3 full days since his surgery. His staph infection was downgraded to a "b", which I'm told is good, but it's still there and will be for a while so he'll be on a really strong IV antibiotic for about 3 weeks. He's in severe pain all the time and any movement sends him through the roof, so they've started giving him Atavan just to keep him calm, and have boosted his pain meds so he's pretty much somewhere else all day long. Example...tonight we were talking about the kids for a minute before I left and in the middle of our very short conversation he asked me if I was close to the mountain and did I get caught in the speed trap by the Knudsen's house. That's just ONE example. I could give several. So our week will be an interesting one.
Poor guy wants to be out of there so bad. It's so hard to see him suffer like this. The kids miss him so much. Max has been out of town so he hasn't seen Jon since July 6th. The other 3 haven't seen him since Friday afternoon and won't be able to until near the end of the week when he's more coherent. Meghan doesn't even get what's going on. Our neighbor asked her why her dad was in the hospital and she told them "because he broke his hip" (snicker).Please keep up the prayers!
