Recovery

Well Greg's surgery went well (as far as we know). They did find out he has a tear in his bicep muscle but the doc did not fix it because it was a longer surgery requiring more time in a sling and he did not feel like he could make that decision without talking to us first since Greg had not complained of it hurting.

Greg was a bit concerned before surgery because three different people at the hospital told him this surgery is more painful than most laproscopic surgeries. We have been able to stay ahead of the pain by giving him pain meds every 4 hrs. The bad thing is the meds make it hard to keep his eyes open, but not tired enough to sleep. He has this cool ice pack that you keep ice cold water in a cooler looking thing then hook it up to the pack on his shoulder and it has continuous cold water running over his shoulder (it is the blue tubing in the picture). The bad thing is it runs on electricity and Greg cant figure out how to rig it so he can use it while mowing the grass.

Thank you all for your prayers. Greg is doing great thus far! We did not have any kids at the house last night so it will be interesting to see how Greg helps me feed kiddos tonight. I will be doing lots of burping and changing of diapers but he should be able to lay one in his lap and feed.
