Yesterday, Gus had his hip surgery - on both hips. It took over 6 hours of surgery. He is in a lot of pain. Last night was miserable for him. The irritation from the tube going down in to his lungs caused a lot of drainage/mucus and was very painful for him. He is at the hospital on continuous pain medications doubled and tripled up. We were trying everything last night for him, to help him sleep just a little. Please pray for him.
He is either crying or sleeping, but not sleeping much. He'll come home as soon as he can. Please pray that he heals quickly and that the pain goes away.
Seeing him pale again, hearing him cough the same 'lungs filled with liquid' cough, and looking at all the wires attached, really shook me up. I know he looked worse 3 years ago, but it was hard to remember that at first. Thank you for your support and prayers.
I'll let you know when he comes home.
Fergus is the youngest son of Matt and Esther Lockerby, in the United States of America. (Matt is the son of David and Carolyn Lockerby. Esther is the daughter of Larry and Christine Craver.)
