Up bright and early

Because of the snow storm that was headed this way I opted to stay over night at the hospital. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back in, in the morning and they have been talking about transferring Nathan today and I didn't want to not be here. Well, the snow didn't start until early this morning. It is definitely coming down now. Just watching the news and the area that Steve, Dad & I stayed at is quite deep! Now I'm really glad I stayed.

The doctors were in this morning at 5:45 AM. They took the bandage off the skin graft and the harvest area. They want the graft area to dry out and left part of the covering on the harvest area that Nathan was to remove as he could. He had it off in about 30 minutes and the site seems to feel so much better. It looks a lot like a square burn. The Doc said he needs to be careful of getting it sunburned for the next year due to his coloring. It was pretty funny, Nathan said "what are you saying that I'm pale, albino....?" Then Nathan said he never wears short shorts anyway so it is unlikely it would be exposed. The Doc was relieved to hear that and agreed that no man should wear short shorts.... A little morning humor. That was Dr. Osborn. I really like him. They've all been great.

He did say that they want to keep an eye on the graft for a couple more days so they won't be transferring him today.

The snow is coming down hard and at some times completely sideways. They are expecting high winds here today as well.

Hope every one has a wonderful day. Thanks for all your prayers and positive thoughts. Hugs to all.
