2 Giant Steps Backward

My dad ended up back in surgery yesterday. Apparently the wires that were holding his rib cage together pulled apart the bone on his ribs and that is why he has had so much pain when he coughed. Each time he coughed the bone fragments would hit each other. He will be in a medicine induced coma for 4-5 days while they grow the cultures taken from his chest to see if he has an infection. My mom and I are exhausted and this will give us the opportunity to get some rest while he is sleeping becuase he is going to have a very long recovery from this. They are still concerned about his pneumonia but everything is in God's hands now.....
