Finally......The Long Awaited Drain

The drain is officially in. Everything went well and Dad is relieved to get it over with. The nurse came out and told mom that Dad sure was sweet, I guess he was working his magic.......When someone is sticking something in your spine I guess you have a tendency to be "sweet!"

They ran a tube from his spine up into his head. He has to lay flat on his side. He cannot get up, and anytime he wants to turn over the nurse has to come and turn him. Poor Dad! It is going to be a long 5 days. He is such a trooper, through this whole ordeal I have never heard him complain once, not once. Pretty amazing fellow.

Thank you for your prayers that this procedure would go smooth. Please pray that these 5 days will go quick and painless for all :)

God is good!!
