He's starting to feel it....

I just got a call from Mom. They have been tapering Dad's pain meds and this evening he is feeling quite a bit of pain. He's having a bit of difficulty resting and it's causing him to even feel some nausea. We're afraid that since he's been feeling SO well the past 24 hours that he may have overdone it. At the moment they have given him some other pain meds and he's asleep.

We appreciate so much everyone's visits and all of the encouragement that you have brought to him but we ask that until he is out of the CCU on Friday that you just remember him in your prayers while he rests.

Once he gets into a room I will update and let you know if he's feeling up to guests.

I spoke with him earlier this evening and he wanted me to tell all of you how much he loves you and how he appreciates your prayers.

P.S. Here's a "Dad Moment" for you. He was feeling so sick this evening he was unable to eat his dinner but as the nurse was taking his tray he asked her to leave the chocolate cake.....just in case!

Leigh...Thanks for the blog. It is a blessing to me since I am out of touch at work all day long. We'll pray for a good night's rest and for no serious pain. You guys try to get some rest too. Make sure Cheryl doesn't overdue it. We love you all. Karla, Mike, Taylor and Layne Hall

Pain meds will be his best friend for a few days.....don't be afraid to use them....as many as they will let him have!

Leigh...so glad to find this blog. I found out about your dad from Martha H., and have been praying ever since. Even though we've been gone from Conway for a long time, your family and WHBC will always be special.

Continuing to pray!
