Tuesday, July 21st

If it hasn't been said before, I'll say it now. Jim is a fighter! Less than 48 hours after brain surgery the breathing tubes came out, he regained consciousness, can respond to your questions and knows who every person is that comes into his room. Praise the Lord!
As expected, he has a bad headache and his head/right eye is swollen. The doctors took his bandages off to allow his incision to breathe. He has somewhere between 40 and 50 staples in his scalp that are now clearly visible. (Don't look if you have a faint stomach!) This afternoon the doctors gave him his first drink of water. Jim took a long sip and said in a whispered voice, "That's the best water I've ever tasted!"
