Jon is out of surgery and in ICU (Intensive Care Unit). He is still groggy but asking questions and talking every once in a while. He's still asking for slurpies because he is so thirsty. The remainder of the time he is sleeping. He is on a lot of pain meds to help him, which is good. Since they decided to proceed with the larger incision, Jon will be in much more pain. The doctors have prepared for this and have him not feeling any of this pain yet. He said his pain level is at a 2, which is actually lower than what he was saying before surgery. He has a total of 3 chest tubes (2 going towards his head and one at an angle) and TONS of stuff hooked up to his left arm to monitor absolutely everything. He will be here overnight so that the nurses will be able to monitor him closely. Then he will return to his regular room down the hall.
His spirits are good, and he is handling this with the best attitude possible. :)
