Day 1 of Recovery

Ronnie and I went to visit Peter this afternoon. We were expecting to find him under sedation but we were pleasantly surprised to see his eyes slightly open and he even managed a slight wave with his fingers. His lungs are being assisted by a respirator and he has a myriad of tubes, wires and monitors surrounding him. He is expected to remain in the Surgical ICU ward until Sunday. Jeanette is coping well at home without Peter. She is sleeping soundly and eating well too. We have a nurse coming in every weekday to care for her and Lydia is there for her companionship and emotional support. Now that the operation is behind him, Jeanette has started asking us when he will be coming home from the hospital. We all know that he has been capable of doing fantastic things in his life ... but he would need to have superhero powers to recover from this operation at that speed!!! Jokes aside, we are hopeful that the next two weeks will fly and that they can be together again in no time.
