Paw Paw is finally out of ICU! He had a good day today. His heart was acting up a little (a-fib) this morning, so they put him on a medicine (amiodarone) to correct it. His ICU nurse said that wasn't uncommon for post-surgical patients and that it's usually corrected with medicine. His blood sugar was also a little high tonight, which can be caused by stress to the body (i.e., surgery). His bandage came off today and his incision looks great! They also got rid of a lot of his tubes today. And tonight he finally got to move into a regular room on the cardiac step-down unit! He got out of bed and sat in a chair some today, but he still hasn't walked...that's coming in the morning. Hopefully that won't be too painful.
Thank you all for your prayers!

I was sure glad to see your update. The last time I checked last night you hadn't posted anything. I was feeling a little "out of touch." Sounds like Bill is making good progress. Give my love to Frances!
