Today we are at Methodist Hospital. This is our first time here. We are usually at St. Luke's next door. This place seems good. The nurse has been nice. John's procedure was to be at 11. It is noon and we have not moved to pre op yet but our doc had a surgery before this proceure. Surgery can take time as you know. I am really only worried about time b/c John's blood sugar was a bit low a week or so ago. It appeareu to be due to the fact that he has become very active again and just needed to take in more calories. Since he is NPO today, I was afraid that he might get light headed. He is sleeping now so that is good. We are in a very nice room with a bed and TV to wait for pre op. TMHS gets points for this luxury plus the wifi is really good too.
We are very excited about the surgery on April 13th to repair John's esophagus. I am also nervous but he does not seem to be at all. He would do it today. It is kind of funny that everywhere we go lately for medical care the providers look at John, look at his chart then are amazed at how good he looks. I have to attribute that to his attitude. He has never acted sick. He has always seen this as a temporary situation that he just has to get through. I am so proud and amazed by him.
I will let you all know soon how today goes.
Thanks for the loving prayers.
