I finally figured out how to update this blog!
Yesterday afternoon we had a setback. Will developed pneumonia and an infection in his chest. So they immediately took him back to surgery and re-opened the chest to clean out the infection and check on his lungs. He spent the night in Critical care on a ventilator and is still there, because when they removed the ventilater, his heart starting racing and they had to give him some medication by IV to stabilize it. They want him to stay in C..tical Care to moniter his heart. So all of this puts us back to day 1. He will probably be in the hospital until next Friday.
Thank goodness, our daughter, Christy, was here from Monday thru Friday and we took turns staying at the hospital with him. Ron & June (Will's brother and sister in law) have been great. I don't know what I would have done without them. Will, our son and his wife & kids went back to Johnson County last Tuesday, but we sure enjoyed them here for Xmas and I was glad to have them here for the surgery.
Anyway, it is a setback and more pain & suffering for Will, but today, he was resting good, breathing good, and pretty goofy from all the pain medicine. While sleeping, he would slowly bring his hand up, clutching an imaginery coffee cup and bring it to his lips for a sip of coffee.
Poor guy, that is the closest he will get to coffee for a month!

Kaye, I only found out about Will when we were all in Iola. Things there went as well as could be expected. It was good to see all the family. We will be praying that things take a turn for the better for you and Will. Dave Garrett
Darn. Sorry to hear this. Sure glad you were able to update the blog because we've been checking each day, looking for news. Thankfully, Will is a fighter and I'm sure he's going to kick this infection in the butt. We're rooting for him - thinking of you BOTH every day.
