Quick update before I go to bed...
When Ann and I left the hospital, Jeff had a bad case of the hiccups, yes, the hiccups. The funny thing is, before tonight, I have NEVER heard Jeff hiccup! The doctors think it has something to do with the part of the brain that was operated on. It seems that the hiccups have some connection to the brain stem (don't ask me what) and the trauma from the surgery is causing him to hiccup. The bad thing is, that trying to sleep when you are hiccuping is mighty tough! We are hoping that the nasty spasms subside tomorrow!
Jeff did get out of bed and take two short walks down the hallway this evening. He really didn't need a lot of assistance, but when the nurse asked him where he wanted to go when he came back into the room (meaning chair, edge of the bed, etc,) Jeff replied, "right back where I came from!" :)
I Just want you to know that Jeff sat in bed and read all of your posts on the blog tonight. He was kind of choked up over all of the kind words, thoughts and prayers. Thanks for taking the time to write to him!

Good morning Jeff & Kim!
ReplyDeleteHopefully today will be a day with no more hiccups! We hope you are feeling better, especially with the good news you received yesterday! Cannot wait to see you back in Lincoln! Not too much going on around here but a bunch of garage sales. (Incidently, a neighbor of ours which you know has been charged with counts of theft regarding his sale. I will give you details later, it is ridiculous what makes news here!) We wish you a better day! Lots of hugs from our family!

It is so great to hear the positive news coming down from up north. I am sure the positive thoughts and prayers are doing the trick here (with a little help from the doctors and Jeff's tenacity. The new photo tour of hospital is a nice addition - but the stitches photo should wait for after breakfast! Keep up the fight there. Hartman Family
ReplyDeleteI hope the hiccups are gone. But, let's see brain tumor, hiccups? Brain tumor, hiccups? It isn't such a bad trade off for awhile. Loved the pictures. Kim, I knew when you started taking pictures of tulips things were better. If you ever stroll around more - Jim was the project manager on the Gonda Building. (Not the designer). Hang in there Jeff.
