Visiting Hours.

I just saw J for the 9am visiting time.
His color looks so much better than yesterday. (less pale)
He's extubated now and talking :]
He's already started telling jokes and making the nurses laugh.
He's now sleeping and resting.

Visiting Hours:

Right now John is in the SICU.
Soon, hopefully within the next day, he will move to the PCU where the visiting hours are less restrictive.
These hours are:
11am - 8pm.

Things to know:
-Please wash or sanitize your hands before coming in the room.
-No hugs for John yet :[ Only because his chest is super sensitive.
-He has a heart pillow that he "hugs" to support his chest if he needs to cough or laugh.  Although the less he laughs the better (even though my Jonathan loves laughing :])
-Please, please, please if you are sick, might be sick or become sick, please don't subject John to extra germs/risk of infection.  Right now it's important to keep him as clean and sanitized as possible.

Other than that - I know he's excited to have visitors.
He really is in good spirits and kept saying to me over and over
"My heart is strong. I am so blessed.  I am so blessed."

But really, John, we are all so blessed to know you.
