TGIF

Thank God that this is finally coming to an end. They successfully did the cardiac window procedure on him. He is resting/sleeping soundly. Even though he is still in pain, it is manageable. Most of the pain now is from the surgery, not from fluid around the heart and the collapsed lung.
We will be at JMCGHospital one week tomorrow and it has been a rather trying visit. The surgery should take care of the extra fluid that he has had collecting around his heart (which should help diminish the pain). We have seen two of the doctors, the surgical nurse, and Dr.Crenshaw's nurse this morning. We only have two more doctors to see today then we will have seen all those that are charged with his care (just in Jackson). The Vanderbilt folks are consulting with the Jackson doctors, and keeping in touch with me by phone, text messaging, or email. DON'T YOU JUST LOVE BEING CONNECTED!
Leave it to James Gravenmier to draw such a distinguished crowd! Prayers are appreciated and requeste
Love to all,
Cathy
