Today is Heidi's baby shower (and Jaime's by proxy). Since Dad is still in the hospital, he hosted alternative event: A men's meeting in his room for Grandpa Don, Mark, Len & Dustyn!
For those of you shaking your heads and asking, "Why is he STILL there?" The answer is a leaky vein somewhere in his abdomen that's causing Dad to continue to lose blood. When I spoke to him tonight, he sounded perfectly normal, as if he was downstairs at the Lodge. What isn't normal is that he's had 4 units of blood since the surgery. While the doctors do not seem terribly concerned about the matter, they are definitely not letting him leave until his numbers get stabilized.
We'll keep you updated if something significant occurs. Help us pray that the bleeding stops and Dad is released to more friendly environs.
