Post op day 3.

I made it home safely last night. Talked with Mom and Dad briefly, and all was well. Dad was having a good day today when I spoke with them. He said he got some rest last night, is still thirsty, but they are letting him swab his mouth out a little more. The nurses feel like, since they explained the severity of the complications that could result of him swallowing even the tiniest bit of water, that he will do a better job of sucking it out, instead of just letting some accidentally go down his throat.
He has been walking more and more, adding laps, and now time. This morning he walked for 30 minutes!!. He doesn't shake as bad after he stops now, and most of the time he doesn't at all. Everything seems to be moving in the right direction. Praise God.
He still has tubes coming out of him everywhere. I got a picture of him walking before I left, and I will post it as soon as I get my camera unpacked from the car!! (He said I could!!)
Mom is doing good. She had some friends from our church, who were in Houston, stop by and see her before they headed back to Cleburne today. She told me Jim and Micah Reeves, (Dad's best friend and his wife), were coming to spend the afternoon and evening with her. Mom told Jim she wasn't sure if Dad wanted company, and Jim assured her, he didn't even have to see Dad, he was coming for her!!!
No new prayer requests at this time, just keep them coming, however you all are praying, God is answering and blessing!!!
Thank you, In Him, JJ

Team Janszen

Since I first met Mike and Jan years ago through Guy Cumbie, the lives they both have lead and their faithfulness to God has been a real inspiration to me. It also has been very nice to learn through this blog more about the whole Team Janszen. It is very clear how much you love and care for each other – a true blessing and a testament to a good Christian home. Please take heart in knowing that there is an army of people like myself that are praying earnestly for Mike’s speedy recovery and for the whole Team Janszen.
