Checked Bill into the hospital yesterday . . . drew this thingy on the wall while waiting for "night before surgery" procedures. Now he is in being prepped
(double by-pass) and I'm filling time in the waiting room. Expect to be waiting for the next 3 - 4 hours. Trusting the Lord to be right beside him.
Keeping Bill and his doctors in my prayers.
ReplyDeletePraying for God to wrap you both in His comforting embrace and for all to go well with the surgery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elaine and "Firebird" --- prayers much appreciated! I am so grateful for your comments too.
ReplyDeleteSurgery went as expected, all blockage removed. We were able to go see him very briefly in ICU; not quite fully conscious yet and lots of tubes still in. In much pain but they were taking care of that. Scary to see him like this but my sis-in-law ( a nurse) says he won't even remember this part.
I just saw your post (a few hours after surgery)....I am so thankful that this part is behind you both and the surgery went well! I will be praying that Bill's recovery goes smoothly, and his painful days are limited. God Bless!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debo. Friends like you are a very precious gift for which I am very thankful.
ReplyDeleteBill is still in a lot of pain and hasn't really slept since Saturday night --- but the Lord has brought him this far and I know He is working it all out. All the nurses say he will have a great full recovery, being so _young_. Turning 62 next month and they consider him as young --- Hope he is listening to them.
He is young Vicky. My Uncle just turned 95 and still doing good. :) Its always interesting what you sketch. I always have a hard time finding something to sketch. Guess I always think the ordinary isn't interesting enough to spend time drawing it..but it is when you sketch them. :)
ReplyDeleteCris, anything and everything can be an interesting subject to sketch! As humans, we tend to attach meaning and memory to the smallest of things. I have sketched things that I personally think are too boring to bother with . . . only to find that others really respond to them. Curious!
