Rough start today, better ending

When I got to Mitch's room this morning, he looked and felt terrible. They drew his blood and found his hemoglobin level at 5.1 when it was at 15 before the surgery. He got two units of blood during the day and was feeling more like himself by tonight. Physical Therapy came in around 3:30 and got Mitch to sit up with his legs off the side of his bed for about 15 minutes. He also stood for a few minutes while they changed some of his bedding and bandages. YEAH MITCH! SO PROUD OF HIM! He did really well. He got a little sick but his blood pressure stayed level! The physical therapist was very impressed with how well he did. He had some supper tonight (chicken strips and jello). All in all, it turned out to be a pretty good day. They will be getting him up tomorrow to walk with his crutches and will also have him sit in a chair for a while. Please continue to pray for a speedy recovery...I really don't think Mitch's doctors will have it any other way! Thank you once again for everything!
