Last uppiedate for the night:

Like Phred said, he'll be on the ventilator all night but he's so sedated he should sleep well. He said this morning before he went into surgery that he didn't sleep at all last night.

I got to the hospital at 7 and they were giving him 2 units of blood. His brother and I were a bit concerned but the nurses said his blood count had dropped a little and the doctor figured a few units wouldn't hurt. They didn't seem too concerned. As we were leaving the nurses said he'd get one more unit as a 'pick me up'.

They hope to remove the ventilator in the morning.

*fingers crossed*

The nurse said she'd call if there was a problem.

So no news is good news.

I love you guys!!! Night!
