Good Evening ~ This should be the last one for tonight. Seth wanted me to report that he got up (with help) and sat in a chair for 1 hour and 5 minutes tonight! He was plenty tired when we got him back into bed. The surgeons were in again tonight (3 times today $$$) and they were very happy with Seth's progress. We have our favorite nurse back tonight. Her name is Mary Anne, she graduated from Bradley and worked at OSF. She said she loves University of Iowa Children's Hospital and so do we. They moved out here in 2005. She is really awesome and Seth really connects with her. The more activity we can get Seth to do the quicker his gut will wake up, and the quicker he will be able to eat and go home. :) No food since Monday night. His last meal was French Toast at 10:30 at night. (What a mom huh?) He's not complaining about being hungry at all. He's really not complaining about anything except the irritating sounds. Our nurse got us a box fan to turn on tonight to try and drownd out some of the noises. We both are looking forward to getting some sleep tonight.
I talked to Jeff. He made it home safely. He said the roads got really bad near Davenport Iowa. There were 3 accidents and one guy almost lost it right in front of him, the roads were very slick. He said the winds picked up near Galesburg and the roads were bad there too. We are thankful that he had no problems at all.
Chris Spicer you did a great job on posting! You may have yourself a new ministry in Pastoral Care via Blog. We love ya both :) Aaron thanks for the overnight offer on the ipod, that was a very generous offer. We have one coming on Sat.
Seth says HI to everyone at Peoria Christian and at Riverside. Good Night All, Vickie & Seth
