Final OR Trip???

Craig emerged from surgery at approximately 6:00 pm. They closed the wound above the knee as they thought it would be best, considering he had a knee replacement anyway. I haven't had a chance to talk directly with the surgeon but the nurse filled me in and the surgeon would have called me if there were any impending complications. At least the surgeries are over (I am assuming), the infection is under control, and now they can work on his kidneys. They also will start bringing him "back to life" and removing the breathing tube. We will see what the weekend will bring. My thoughts are very troubled at having to explain to him the events of the past week and his reaction but on the brighter side...thank goodness I CAN tell him!
Good night and I'll update you tomorrow,
Barb

    I am so glad to see your update! I stopped by around 4:30 today so I missed you all since Craig got out of surgery at 6pm! Wow. You are doing a fantastic job and I admire your strength as well as Craig's. I know you will find the right words. Please know that I am always thinking of you.

    Have a good night.
