John is feeling a lot better, they scared me last night and said that if he doesn't start breathing deeper or coughing he could get pneumonia. He had a fever of 102.5 and they were freaking out because of it, which made me freak out. Luckily his fever went down late this afternoon and he is feeling a ton better tonight. Last night was a pretty rough night for him. I feel so bad I have to watch him be in so much pain and all I can do is try to help him feel comfortable, I think since his surgery I have readjusted his pillows like 45 times.
I think he thinks if he moves into a different position he will feel better, but it's not working out so well. Tomorrow morning they are going to stop the suction on the chest tube and see how he is doing without it. He will not be coming home tomorrow.
John's sister Missy drove down from Idaho to help us with the girls. So nice of her! She has been helping a ton and we don't even know how to thank her! She brought the girls up to see John tonight because John was really missing them. They said hi to John and then were interested in all the things around in his room. It was a short visit, but hopefully everything John needed. I have been missing them too! It's weird not being around them.
I have a lot of people to thank for all their help and support through all this! I will be posting about that soon.
I have been feeling very comforted during all this and for some reason I am doing pretty good, just tired from not getting much sleep. I am just worried about John and hoping he can get over this soon, so he can move forward and get his treatments he needs.
(This is the tube that was in John's back the first time. Starting from the gauze was all inside his back. That's why he is in so much pain, mostly.)
