Here is dads email for today, pretty short and I will leave it at that since its almost midnight here and we still have to get stuff packed up since the childrens house has openings tomorrow. Will update more as needed...

"Hey,

Things went fine today. He has had a fever, which they said was
normal for this type of surgery. They took some blood and urine
samples to check for infections, still no word on that. They are
pumping a bunch on antibiotics into him so I think that helps. He
should be able to sit up tomorrow and might even get out of bed.

He still has not eaten anything solid since Monday and nothing since
Wednesday and won't for a couple of more days, since surgery he has not
even been able to take a drink. Not sure how he is lasting, I thought
2 1/2 days was bad with no food. Everything goes in through IV, well
almost everything. He gets Tylenol through a suppository, Yikes! He
has not complained tho.

He has been in almost no pain. YEAH!!!! They said it must have been
a perfect epidural. He has a patch on for bladder spasms, not sure if
it is working or if he just has not had any.

Dawna flies out tomorrow, sure that will be tough on everyone. We
will also be moving to The Children's House so we should be able to
send some pictures.

That be it for today.

We out Don, Donna, Dawna & Gunnar"
