Sadly, I'm referring to myself! I went to see Dave and thought he looked great until I saw the long line of staples on the side of his head. I saw it as a great opportunity for Bev to go in and see him! All I could think of was the monster played by Robert de Niro in Frankenstein! But, it does NOT look that bad.
Emma & Sam weren't quite ready to see him, so I took Rosy in to say hi. She brought hugs out for the other two kids from him. She told Sam, "Daddy's really sick, and he's really had surgery, and he's really sleepy, ok?" She tried to deliver the hug to Sam but Sam balked a little due to the presence of so many other people in the waiting room. :)
Anyways, he spent less time in recovery than they anticipated and is doing great but very nauseated. So they gave him meds for that and he went to sleep and we're going to take the kids back to the hotel for their naps.
It's so great to know you are all praying for us and I will let him know about all of your comments as well. I'll post pictures later.
Awesome news that everything went so well! What a relief! Hopefully eveyone will sleep well tonight...xxx, H.
ReplyDeleteIt was great being at Bible study this morning as you called with updates and to pray for all of you. Praise God for how smoothly the whole process has gone. Sounds like the recovery is going well too. God is so good! We wore our red today. I hope if I'm ever in the hospital Rosy will come visit me. :)

Dave & Heidi
Praise God! We are so thankful to hear that his recovery is going well. It must have been so liberating to see him after surgery. I'm glad the kids are there to give their Daddy loves...:) We will continue to pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful news! I'm so happy everyone's prays could be felt and the family is holding up and supporting each other so well. Thanks so much for this blog...you have lots of concerned Dave supporters outside the hospital as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, yes. So glad all is well. Staples in my hubbies head I imagine would make me a bit dizzy, too. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Been keeping track all day. This blog thing is great! Continued prayers from this end. Tell Dave we already miss him at work! God Bless!
