Walking

Chris did well last night after surgery. I think we are finally getting his pain managed.  The big goal last night was to have him walk and sit in a chair. If you know Chris well,  you know he is an over achiever and does nothing half way. At about 10 pm he felt he was ready to walk, but instead of just walking to the chair he wanted to walk all the way down the hall.  At this point, his nurses could see he was too tall for the bed that he was in --so right then and there a new bed was ordered.  I guess when you are 6ft -6inches tall there are some perks! He slept well last night, I think the new bed helped, and woke up this morning alert and wanting to do more walking. Yesterday was an exhausting and emotional day for me. I'm so glad we are on this side of the surgery. Hearing the tumor was encapsulated was the best news I could have ever heard. We are so so grateful for everyone who has had us in your thoughts and prayers. I believe there is so much power in prayer and it definitely has blessed our family.  So thank you everyone.
