Monday's update week #2

Today is post op day 5 and I feel like I actually got good news from the Doctors today. Shane's skin grafts look great, although, there is a small patch on his left leg that will have to be re-grafted with the 2% that didn't get done in the first surgery. They haven't scheduled that surgery as of yet, I would think that it will be next week. He is still on the ventilator, it appears that his lungs were not quite as good as they had originally thought,but we are hoping that the vent will be out by the end of the week. They did drop his pain meds today so that he will be awake more so when the vent comes out he will be able to get up and start walking. We have really be overwhelmed by the love and concern by so many that love Shane and our family. I would still ask for your patience when it comes to visiting. I will let you know when he is ready for visitors. But the thoughts and prayers from all of you are so appreciated. Thank you for the support!
