Better Day

Ed had a better day today. It was a good start to the year.

He definitely looked better when we went to the hospital this evening, and said he'd been able to get out of bed a couple times today. His blood pressure was on the rise, which is good because it'd been really really low last night.

He said the doctors told him that the first five days were the most critical, and the fact that he was doing better and the hole hadn't gotten bigger was a good thing. He seemed very optimistic that he'll be able to go home in the next few days.

They're doing another x-ray of his heart tomorrow to check on the size of the hole. I think that'll be a big determining factor of if he's able to go home soon.

Praise the Lord!
