Good afternoon, AU family!
I have so much good news to report regarding Wayne's recovery from surgery last week!
Today was a HUGE day! Physical therapy had him doing chair pushups (dips), etc. Then came Speech therapy & he was able to put the one-way valve on his trach & surprised the therapist with the strength of his voice! He got his reward - that much hoped-for cup of ice chips! (He has had nothing by mouth since last Wednesday).
Cheeky monkey! He had asked for some water & a swab to rinse his mouth out... As I turned my back to fetch something else, I caught motion out of the corner of my eye... the sly bugger had taken a sip from the cup!
He will officially start liquids tomorrow, but they want to be sure he's not leaking into any tissues anywhere from the mouth.
He is cleared to get a wheelchair, even with all the IV pole, He's very keen to get rolling since I told him it would reduce the swelling in his arms & hands...

ALL GLORY TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER!!!
Auntie M, Dennis1776 has been practically holding my hand since surgery day. We had everything planned out for the kids to be here in NOLA vacationing during the surgery, but then it was pushed back a week... But that's OK because Dr. Hasney was here to do his Stage 1 of the surgery himself, freshly back from vacation. Still, I was all my byself in the big city & he knew it & held my hand through the 10 LONG hours of surgery. Bless his darling wife for sharing her husband with me!
Wayne had 3 surgical teams - Dr. Hasney removed the old jaw bone (and told me later he was able to take 30% less than he had thought because the bone was still healthy on the right side)! I'm claiming that as part of the healing God began BEFORE the surgery!
@QakeLady told me last Wednesday that she & her mom had prayed he got out of surgery early & so it came to pass!
Dr. Hanson spoke with me at 6pm to tell me it went great & finished over 45 min. early..

Yes, ma'am!!!
We are both humbled & amazed at the beautiful hearts of the people here!
Special thanks, Miss Myrna, for your generous gift!
One thing is for sure - I knew he was a tough cookie, but I had no idea! My respect for him was always high, but it has reached an entirely new level.
Other than coaching him on breathing deeply the 2nd day so he could get off the ventilator, I have not had to push him at all. The man is INVESTED in helping himself!
That's a good thing - because now I'm free to lecture the residents to stop throwing their trash all over the room & leaving it in the bed, LOL!
Both of us had rough childhood & rough marriages until we found each other... this describes us.

He has blessed us so much already I almost feel guilty asking for more...
Isn't it wonderful how He encourages us to bring all our troubles & lay them down before Him? What a privilege!
Wayne has always felt guilty or unworthy, because of ideas his mother put in his head as a small child. (Think Filipino Dragon Lady, master manipulator, malignant narcissist, who played each child against all the others).
I was telling Wayne as we were driving in from Alabama, "Hon, you don't realize it yet, but this is your chance to discover how much God really loves you.." He didn't answer. He's always been a man of few words... but I could tell he was thinking.
Literally EVERY single thing I've asked God for has happened as I wanted or better than I could have imagined.
Our night nurse, Andre, just introduced himself. We were talking about one JP drain not working. I said, "Either get it working or take it out; right now, it's just teats on a bull." He threw back his head...
