J.P. wakes up with smile

J.P. was awake and smiling Tuesday afternoon after surgery to repair his shunt earlier in the day.

He had reason to smile after his fellow students at Canine Companions for Independence got together and purchased him a big stuffed dog and card to let him know they’re thinking about him during his hospital stay.

J.P. slept for much of the afternoon after he awoke with pain in the recovery unit. He was given quite a few pain medications before he got comfortable and dozed off.

His doctors are planning to begin feeds this evening, and that will be key to his discharge. Please pray there are no further issues with his feeds tonight. Everything else is looking good.

Things also remain on track to have a visit from Karina on Wednesday. I know that will make him happy. He keeps smiling at his new stuffed dog.

Paige and I really appreciate the support of everyone and the special gift from our friends at Canine Companions.
