Home and on the mend now

Yesterday Shawn had his surgery. He was in pre-op for about an hour, then they took him back for what they said was going to be about a two hour surgery. Shawns mom was there with me, and after about two hours a nurse came out and told us, it was taking longer than they thought because Shawn was bleeding alot. His sinuses were really swollan so it took Dr Pelczar longer to get around in there. After another hour Dr. Pelcar came to talk to us. He told us that Shawn was doing good, but had lost quite a bit of blood and was having a hard time coming out from being under. Apparently he was fighting with the doctors in there... Dr. Pelczar said he is one strong guy. :) Shawn had no idea he was being a little fighter back there. After we talked with the dr. we had to wait about an hour more to see him. We finally got to go back to see him around 4:30 p.m. He didn't look good, which can be expected from all he went through, its still hard to see your strong husband looking like that. He was having a hard time keep his oxygen up, so they said he wasn't going to be able to go home till he kept it up on his own. Finally after about an hour nap he was keeping it up on his own. He was ready to just go home. So we finally got to leave about 6pm. He is doing good today. In alot of pain of course, but drinking well and trying to eat some. He is a very good patient. And Im really enjoying playing nurse... poppin pills in him every four hours and changing his nose pads.
