For Paul: Friday the 13th is Good Luck

Paul got the chest tubes out of his chest this morning along with the "pacemaker" wires. It was very painful and traumatic and it messed up his blood sugar and started his heart fibrillating.

He has had very good nurses and the doctors have been seeing him often so they're right on top of every incident. They got his heart in sinus rhythm by 1pm and the blood sugars under control shortly thereafter.

He started feeling better and got up in the chair for a couple hours and then walked around the CCU. After such a busy day he's tired and in need of a nap. After a short nap he felt much better and sat up and ate dinner.

His recovery this time is nothing short of a miracle. With the first bypass surgery he looked the same for the 12 days of his hospitalization. This time his color is great and he continues to improved everyday. We are truly BLESSED.
