It's about 10am and my mom and I just arrived at the hospital to find Dean sitting up in a chair. He said he slept well through the night and has finally started taking some pain medication as they are making him cough every few hours to make sure his lungs stay clear and it hurts!
Right now his heart is fibulating, which the doctor said was expected because as part of the surgery they had to cut part of his heart so it is reacting to that trauma. As he has had heart surgery to correct this previously and does experience it on occasion it was not unexpected. They have decided to give him some medicine which will help his heart calm down. This will help prevent congenital heart failure so it's good that they are taking this step now.
Otherwise his lungs sound good. We've brought him a Starbucks tea and his pillow from home so we are settling in for the day.
Thanks again for all of your messages.

Dean, you made me turn on my computer on a Saturday! Yay! It's so worth it to be in the loop. You and yours are on my mind all the time now; good thoughts, good thoughts, good thoughts.
Love ya.

Please let Dean know I'm thinking of him and I hope the entire family can enjoy a game of "now who the heck is Ann Jones". My most vivid memory of Haverly is when she thought she was a dog, but I'm sure things have changed a bit from then.
Hope everyone can get some rest. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember its a marathon, not a sprint and give yourself the time you need to heal. (As in get better, not as in stand by my side while I walk you on your leash per the last reference to Haverly thinking she was a dog).
Love to all!
Ann
