Sunday Night Update

Jamie's had a good day. He's had some good sleep, and some good visits. He will go in to surgery sometime tomorrow - a vascular surgeon will debride (I don't know how to spell it) his right foot, in other words, he will take off the dead skin and tissue and clean everything up.

Jamie looks good - his color is good. He has, however, earned himself a big white glove that looks sort of like an oven mitt, in addition to the restraint on his right hand. He's very quick and sneaky, and will pull out tubes in a flash. Jamie's friends Trevor and Mary Duke came by to see him tonight (Mary's a neuro ICU nurse in Fredericksburg, VA) and Mary is very impressed with how well Jamie is doing, and the excellent care he's getting at CMC.

Will has posted the new visiting hours of the progressive care unit on the sidebar. His room has four beds in there, with two nurses in the same room 24/7.

As soon as we know how his surgery goes, we will let everyone know. Thanks for your continued prayers and well wishes.

Jamie,
You are doing fantastic! I'm thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts from Seattle this week. You'll have to make faces at Will since I won't be in town to do it-I know I can count on you...maybe swat some nurses with the mitt, too, you've got to have some fun.
When I get back, I'll bore you by telling you about my trip!
Erin
