Brian had his stomach surgery yesterday (feb. 5) and as expected he is in A TON of pain. Please pray that he will get rest and start to feel better soon, that he can be comfortable and that things will heal like they should. I just talked to him and he is feeling very lonely too. Pray that he will feel comfort even when nobody is there. He has a chest tube to help with his right lung so a tube is coming out of his right side causing a lot of discomfort also (this is a normal thing) besides the nine inch incision down the center of his stomach. The doctor said everything went well they just had to completely take apart what was previously done and redo it. This is a lot more painful a second time around and a lot more painful the younger you are. Thanks for thinking of him in this time of healing!

We arrived at the hospital at 9am. We went into this room at about 9:30am and he didn't get taken until 12:30. Once he left this room he had another 1.5 hour wait before they would even start surgery. We were notified at 1:55 that it was starting. At 4:30 we got an update that everything was going great but that it would still be a while longer. At 6:15 we were notified they were just starting to close him up. At 6:45 we met with the surgeon. It wasn't until 10pm that he came out of recovery and we were able to see him. What a long day! I was so thankful Brian's mom was with me and also thankful my mom was at our home with Keziah so I didn't have to worry about her.
