Update: He went to ER last night. Fluid and blood build up beneath incision. He's going to see his surgeon either today or tomorrow to have it drained. He's incoherent and not eating or drinking.

My daughter isn't getting much sleep. But, is hanging in there.

I'm going to pick up my granddaughter later today for a couple of days to give her a chance to get a nap or two in while my SIL sleeps.

I'm thinking of you, Vicki.
I hope that he improves quickly.
You are being very strong.
Don't forget to care for yourself
when you care for another, or two
others.
You are a very good woman.

Thanks for keeping us up to date Vicki. Still keeping everyone in prayer. How are you holding up? You just had surgery yourself.

It sounds like they let him out of the hospital too early. Still praying. Please take good care of yourself so you can be there fully for everyone else.

Update: Took granddaughter back home. All seems to be going better. SIL is up and about. Headaches are still there, but not as intense or at least he's putting up a good front.

My daughter really needed the break to catch up on some sleep.

As for me, I'm scheduled for surgery (Ultroid) again on Tuesday. This time I know what I'm getting myself into and know what to expect. I am going to take it easy this week so I can be prepared and get a chance to recover.

Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. I've been passing them on to my daughter and SIL.

Please take care of YOU, Vicki! You have a surgery to deal with! Stress is not your friend at this time!

Vicki, what is your SIL's prognosis?

Please take care of yourself after your surgery. I can see you jumping right back in to helping your daughter before you've healed. Isn't that what mothers do?

Dotsie, He should recover completely. There should be no side effects. No faculty losses. It just takes a while to recover.

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Dancer, I agree.. stress is not good. I woke this morning to a fever, upset stomach, aches, and I'm thinking it's the flu. Hope it's gone by tomorrow so they can do the surgery. I couldn't even walk this morning and that says a lot.
