Good Morning America, Seth & I were up early this morning...4:45!!! They drew blood and the labs came back with his hemogloblin dropping to 6. They are preparing him for transfusions. Thankfully they already had him tubed for it from surgery. Mary Anne said too they won't have to stop the moriphine to start the blood since he already has IV's in both wrists. Yeah that's a blessing!! He will have two units, pray that he doesn't have a reaction. They just gave him some Benedryl to help with that and some Tylenol actually by mouth. He kept it down which is also a great sign. They are getting ready to start now and his nurse has to hang out with him so that IF there is a problem she is close by. Another request is that with getting even more Iowan blood (total 4 units) pray that he doesn't become a HAWKEYE fan and start liking the colors YELLOW & BLACK. He is now and hopefully will always be an ILLINOIS fan!!!!! Since Mary Anne is with him, I'm going to run down to the resturant and get a hot cup of decaf. Be back in a bit.

Good Morning!
It is very early here on the west coast for us too. But you did have us beat by about 45 minutes. The first thing we wanted to do when we woke up was to check on you guys.
Nate, Hope and I are in Monterey visiting Melissa.She says hello. She was here for training.
We are praying for you and cheering for you.
Much love,
A.Kel, U.Nate & Hope
hello seth and vick!
we are enjoying our first snow day here today. i think we got about 4-5 inches. the first thing parker asked this morning is if he could go outside! i told him we'd have to wait and see..lol:)
i am so happy to hear that you got to move around some yesterday and sit up for quite awhile. what a miracle! i can't imagine going through a 12 1/2 hour surgery and then sitting up for an hour not even 24 hours later........
i'll be praying the blood transfusion does it job. i will check back later!
love you guys,
hilary
