Wow! Does Mitchell smell better!! The shower went really well...I think he can do anything he puts his mind to. We took off his dressing and now he only has the steri strips covering his incision. It looks great.
He had a great night of sleep last night. He woke up around 4:00 and needed some pain medication and then I woke him up again at 9:00! That was so nice! I can tell the pain is lessening because he hasn't asked for much pain medication today! He still gets tired easily, but that is normal.
He has a follow-up appointment with his doctor in Grand Rapids on Wednesday at 2:30. This will be a little challenging as he hasn't been up longer than 1/2 hour...and if all goes well with the appointment, the drive along will take 1-1/2 hours plus the time in the doctor's office. I am a little concerned (worried) about the trip...so if you could pray for Mitchell and myself...I know God can give strength when we need it.
I got to go to church this morning...it was wonderful to see friends and talk to so many caring people...VPM is an awesome family to be a part of!
Have a good week...I probably won't post anything until after Mitchell's doctors appointment on Wednesday...so until then...
Lots of love,
Pam

Hey Mitch, I'm so glad you were able to take a shower. I bet you feel like a new man! Anyway it was good to hear your voice on the phone sounding so upbeat! Keep the positive attitude! We are looking forward to seeing you and your parents tomorrow night. I miss you guys! :) Love, mer (seems like I've been gone forever)
What a joy to read the positive reports! Stay strong Mitch. You too Pam. May the progress continue.
