Post-op day 4: 10:49

Ahh, Sunday in the medical complex. Quiet is a good word to describe it.

Jimmy is well. The chest tube was removed this morning. The plan is to get him moved over to St. Luke's this afternoon to the step down unit and run additional tests on Monday (liver evaluation). Unfortunately we have no additional information on the next real plan of action. I think it will depend on the liver tests.

The PA for the surgeon was in just a minute ago and from her demeanor it seems that Dr. Fraser is apprehensive about attempting to complete the surgery. No one is coming out and saying that, but that is the impression that I get with the way that they dance around the issue. Unfortunately, Jimmy is hoping for him to finish what he started. I am not sure that is a realistic goal. But, I am not forcing him to accept anything he is not ready to accept.

Jake and I went to Target this morning and got a few groceries. It was nice to get out and about. Jimmy wants me to take Jake to do something fun, so the plan is to go to the Children's Museum just up the street. It is open from noon to 6 this evening. It will be good to go do something. I brought the camera so we can take pictures to share with Jimmy when we return.

I will write more later. Happy Sunday.
