Mikey update - Wed 5/27 8:31am PST

Good Morning All,

Mike had a good night. As I mentioned in my update last night, he received 2 more pints of blood, and slept well...until after 9am this morning. Very good that he is getting a good nights rest...that can be hard to do in a hospital! His blood count this morning is over 9, and as such, the surgery for his hand is "a go" and is scheduled for 3:30pm CST today. Mike's Dad spoke with the general trauma doctor this morning, and everything is good with regard to Mike's status.

The staff strongly recommends that no one visit this afternoon or evening. He will likely not be back in his room following his surgery until 7 or 8pm CST and he will be really "out of it" until the anesthesia wears off. Tomorrow will be a better day for visiting. Based on Mike's Dad's discussion with the doctor, Mike will likely be in the hospital for at least another 2 or 3 days.

Keep sending the good thoughts and prayers his way...they are certainly working.

I will talk with Mike later this morning and post any additional updates as I receive them throughout the day.

Love & Blessings,
karin
