Day 9 after surgery

Joel "sat up" a long time today in the chair and in the bed and made two laborious treks to the potty! The various respiratory treatments continue day and night. Cloudy lungs in x-rays, coughing and rough breathing but I think he's gonna beat this! I talked to him about the people that love him and are praying for him and how Heavenly Father and Jesus love him and are helping him to get well. He listened quietly.
Mike and I traded places tonight, his turn for Sunday and Monday.
G'night
