An update

Scott's feeling a little better as the day goes on.  The Nurse Practitioner came by this morning and took out one of the drains in his neck that drains extra fluid and blood away from the incision site under his skin.  He still has the main, big one in, but hopefully that will come out tomorrow.  They just came and discontinued his PCA pump for pain and his IV fluids.  He still has a saline locked IV in, just in case they need to give him breakthrough pain medicine.  For now though the Percocet is pulling through for him.  This is such a drastic change from how horrible he was feeling last night and it is such a relief to see.  He also got up and walked in the hall for about three minutes, and was actually concerned about his butt hanging out.  We think this means he's feeling a little bit better.  :)  He's sipping milk shakes and dozing in bed with The Office playing on his laptop while we all recoup from our long day yesterday.   Thanks for your continued prayers!  Please pray for safety for Keith & Elena (Scott's younger siblings) as they drive back to Tulsa this afternoon.
