It’s January 31, 2024, the first full day after the cardiac surgery. I’m still in the Cardiac ICU.
Today’s goal is to be monitoring me and disconnecting most of the leads and tubes. Once I have a met a minimum mobility goal of walking to the elevator, about 30-40 feet, a majority of wires and tubes will be removed.
I’ll qualify for the move down from the 5th floor to the 4th floor, the dedicated cardiac recovery unit where I’ll stay until discharge.
As I’m doing this blog entry on the evening of Friday February 12nd I’ll likely have forgotten some of the details. It’s been quite a journey this time. More painful and challenging in many ways than everything that has come my way so far.
Thanks to all our family friends, and church friends for their ongoing support and prayers. We feel the love and God is still good, still on the throne.
