Dr. Kempe came by this morning and said that Jerry is progressing as he had hoped. He decided to wait another day to remove the chest tubes so everything will probably come out by tomorrow. Jerry's temp spiked during the night but his fever broke around 7:30 a.m. He is having a great deal of arthritic pain in his arms and legs due to the low temps in the operating room and the restraints that were used during and after surgery. This makes things difficult since he must walk four times today and he is currently unable to walk outside his room due to the pain. We attempted a shower at jerry's request but this has really worn him out for the morning. He is eating a normal diet now and we can bring in whatever he likes. Please continue to pray for his deep breathing...he only had 9 deep breaths yesterday and he needs 3 per hour. He did about 6 breaths during the night but has been unable to do any in several hours. The nurse has warned us that the spiked temp is the first sign that pneumonia is settling into his lungs. However, he is clear so far and we hope to keep it that way.
