This “cell phone photo” post is especially for our friends and family who were praying for Cerwin’s surgery this morning.
This photo was of Chaplain George Freeman (Shrewsbury, MA) praying for Cerwin before we left our final TFC Conference meeting last week.
We felt your prayers this morning.
We arrived at Ephrata Hospital at 8:30 this morning and were soon checked in and in a preop room.
Our daughter-in-law Kristen went along with us. She is a nurse and it’s quite helpful to have her listening to directions. In this photo she was making sure that Cerwin was covered and warm in the preop room.
The staff were friendly and professional.
Getting an IV
Waiting for the surgeon and his discharge to the operating room
He loved his new hat! 🙂
Back from surgery. The surgeon said everything went as planned.
Ready to go home about 1:30 pm.
Cerwin is doing quite well. His job is to take a walk around the house every hour and to make sure he breathes deeply and coughs every hour to keep his lungs healthy. He took his first walk while I was on the phone and doing an update on TFC’s email service to my computer. He didn’t even need me. 🙂
I’m so glad it went well. Love his smile as he was waiting for the surgeon. My best friend’s husband has to have hernia surgery the end of Nov. It had to wait as he travels so much. He’s in Africa now with Water For Good.
It is nice to have the surgery behind us.
So glad that things went well and you’re back home for recovery!
He is currently eating supper. We are thankful that it went so well.
So happy all went well!
We are grateful that he is doing so well. Tomorrow may be a bit more painful for him. 🙂
I’m glad all went well — walking a little, and breathing deeply sounds like an easy routine for recovery — hope that goes well too!
Thanks. So far so good.
So thankful all is well!
He is doing really well, and still has had no pain.
