I am home with the children for a couple of hours. A gentleman from our church graciously offered to sit with Jason for the evening so I could get a break and see the kids.
Jason is doing better with the pain medicine pump. He is still in quite a bit of pain, but it is manageable. He did get to walk a lap around the hall today (with two helpers, a walker and his oxygen tank). Today his pulse oxygen level has dropped some. This morning it was 84. They are keeping him on oxygen and hope to wean him from it within a few days. He is coughing up "stuff", which they assure us is a good thing, since he could be at risk for pneumonia. He has also started running a fever this afternoon. This could be because of the carbon dioxide building up in his lungs causing the body to heat up. They are having him breath into a machine once per hour to try and inflate his lungs and expel the carbon dioxide. They will also be monitoring him for possible infection, although he is already taking antibiotics. We are not worried too much at this point, but I am going to stay up there tonight with him again and watch him closely. Thank you for praying.
Also pray for my mother. She was our primary babysitter and has gone home with the stomach virus. Apparently, she has it pretty bad, so pray that God will strengthen her during this time. My mother in law is now with the children and we will have to find others to fill in when she is unable to do it.
