It has been a very, very long day!!!
Russ' surgery began at 6 AM and ended at 11:30. All went well!! We are so thankful to the Lord for His protection. Laura did not get to see Russ until 5 PM. We saw him after that.
Lee's surgery began at 11 AM and at 1:15 they were attaching the kidney. His surgery was over at 3:15. He had Low Blood Pressure issues but they gave him fluids and medicine and that seemed to help the problem. The kidney is operating very well. Lee is in intensive care and will be for at least 24 hrs. He is alert and doing well. He is in a lot of pain but that is to be expected. Laura, Rhonda and Ruth were all with me during the day. Ruth has gone back home and Rhonda will stay until Saturday.
Russ has already gone down from the 6th floor to the 2nd floor to visit with his Dad. Before visiting in the room we have to use foam hand cleaner, put a gown on and also put gloves on. That is for Lee's protection from germs. Russ is expected to go home tomorrow. He was asking for pain medicine before we left. That was to be expected also.
I am extremely tired--we had to be at Duke at 5 AM. They took Lee back at 9 AM and we saw him again at 4 PM.
I shall take my meds, eat my snack and hit the sack. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and concerns--please keep them going upwards.
In His Service,
The Bullucks Sing
Love to each!!
