Thursday evening:
Tom says that Mike was off the fentanyl and propofol today and has done really well. His homografts have been doing well and he is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. He will be down for a few days when that happens. There may have to be a "release" on his right eye because the graft on the right goes on his cheek and up over his nose and his eyelid is drooping. They put ointment in his eyes to keep them moist. He was in the T-peice for about 7 hours. He then gave him some support on the vent. He was watching TV today. They took off his immobile splint on his right hand and he can wiggle his fingers. His left hand/fingers still have pins in them. He has swelling to his feet today. There is talk of ted hose but no action yet.

Mike is scheduled for surgery at noon (Bette says more like two).

well, we are off for a couple of days...back to blogging late on monday...I will get emails from Bette and post the daily update so we can all see what happened.... I will experience "longing" too.....

Oh, there was a request for the info for Potelco Credit Union for any donations for the family for travel and accomodations:
