hey friends... please keep Adam in your prayers. He's back in surgery right now losing weight (they're removing his appendix). I'll keep you updated!

Doctor just came out and said the surgery went well. The appendix hadn't ruptured but it was really icky (my words, not hers). So, PTL that everything's good so far! He'll probably be at the hospital overnight and then milking it for all it's worth the rest of the week.

hospital rooms are so bright and noisy. Sheesh!!! In other news, Adam's in his own room at the hospital, they were finally able to get his pain managed, and he's snoring away. Thank you Jesus!

Well, we'll be watching it snow from our private suite tonight. Adam has been running a fever this morning, so they'll be monitoring him until tomorrow. Pray the fever goes away, and stays away, and that there will be no other complications.

Thanks for your prayers, friends! They are felt and appreciated. Adam's been doing pretty well- he's been on several leisurely strolls, eaten gourmet meals, had a luxuriously warm shower, and a harem of women are catering to his every whim. Other than the serious pain, it's the good life. ;)

We just can't get enough of this place- or maybe they just love Adam so much they don't want to see him leave yet. Either way, he's here again tonight and maybe tomorrow. He's getting an xray of his chest right now to make sure there's no pneumonia setting in to his lungs. His white blood cell count is a little too low and he was running a fever last night. So, we're here if you want to come say Hi. :)

hey friends, just wanted to let you know that I won't be having lunch at SAU tomorrow. Adam's acting a lot better today- more awake, eating some, acting like he feels a bit better- but we're still in the hospital. Hope you're all having a great week!!

We're here until Saturday, so come on down!! :) Adam's white blood cell counts are too low, so he's in for another night of antibiotics. Then she wants one more day here off the antibiotics. If he doesn't need them tomorrow night, we'll go home Saturday. Otherwise it's antibiotics day +1 until whenever. Vegas is looking highly unlikely. C'est la vie- I just want him better.

Yeah, it was gangrenous (which apparently is just as bad as if it had perforated). So, we're here hanging out. As long as nothing else crazy happens, once his white counts go back up we'll be able to go home. Low white count runs the risk of sepsis, so they want to make sure that doesn't happen.

It's been tiring, but not too terrible. Mornings have been the worst; I'm usually not worried or stressed about anything, but when she comes in with some sort of bad news reason he has to stay- it's not so fun and takes a few minutes to regain perspective. The prayers are appreciated!!

The Dr came in this morning and Adam's white counts have risen slightly, but they're still too low. He's not symptomatic of sepsis or abscesses in his abdomen at this point and he's already on a heavy dose of broad-spectrum antibiotics, so they're going to start treating him tonight ll! (by adding another antibiotic) for possible pneumonia. We're here until Sunday/Monday or later.
February 4 at 9:00am
Who knew sitting around a hospital could be so tiring?! ;) Adam had a really good day today- he was awake, walking around, feeling pretty good overall. He's coughing less and less. YAY! I actually snuck away for about 7 hours today to get a lot done that I hadn't been able to get to yet. We'll be here tomorrow- visitors are definitely welcome!
February 4 at 11:24pm
nurses came in and did vitals this morning. Adam got a shot in the tummy. Now we're just waiting for the Dr. to come in. Well, I'm waiting; Adam's sleeping. ;)

Praise the Lord- white counts are normal!! Adam's off antibiotics for today; they're still keeping him tonight to make sure there aren't any complications from being off the meds. He'll be discharged sometime tomorrow afternoon- enough time to watch the Super Bowl on something other than a 9" screen, but not soon enough to get to Vegas. Yay and boo! :)
February 5 at 12:06pm
WE'RE GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 29 hours short of a week of being here and we're finally free! Thank you Jesus that everything's normal!
