A quiet Sunday afternoon in the ICU and I'm thankful! Daryl has had 1-2 hours of solid, uninterrupted sleep this afternoon (probably the 1st extended sleep since surgery). He got up just after Noon today and was walked around the ICU unit. I think he did a fantastic job! He is still not getting rid of the fluids as they'd prefer him to, but his blood pressure remains OK so they're watching him. We'll remain in ICU tonight and I'm glad, because the level of care is much more detailed and well-monitored.
Margaret & Woody (Daryl's Mom & Step-Dad) left after lunch to start the two-day drive home.
Thank you, those who have been leaving comments and/or emailing Daryl. So far he hasn't stayed "awake" long enough for me to read them to him, but I intend to. In the meantime I tell him who has called and/or written to check up on him.
Wonderful! Tell hm to walk strong and recover quickly as he will have to train for us to go after Elk out West. Continued healing and blessings.

I heard someone say just last week "the hospital is no place to rest." I'm so thankful Daryl is able to get some sleep...and I hope you are, too. You are all in our prayers.
