Slept 30 minutes - yeah, from 7:45 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. almost more sleep than the got the whole night prior to that. Nurse, Bev, woke Jason at 8:15 p.m. to 'go for a walk'. He went around the nurses station, 160 feet without having to stop. Blood pressure was 139/78 after the walk (much higher than his resting bp but that is to be expected) and he was VERY cold, but he made it. All tubes connected to machines have been removed from his body so his room is much quieter. He still has several tubes in him, but this is easier to walk around without having to pull one or two machines behind you. Tonight they are giving him Ativan in a lose dose to help him sleep. Please pray he sleeps, he needs it. Nurses were going to let him sleep from 9:00 p.m. - 4:00 a.m. Nurse Bev, told us tonight that Jason will have more pain than people older than him because he is young and has more nerves than an older person.
Jason ate eggs for breakfast, chicken broth for lunch and almost half of a chicken sandwich for dinner.
Good Night,
Tricia

Jason, I hope you and Trisha got some well deserved sleep. I know it can't be easy being poked and prodded by the nurses all the time.
I am thinking about you all the time and will be there to see you again when you are ready again to have visitors.
Love, Angie
