Hello everyone, I just talked to my mom a few minutes ago and she says Drew is awake and aware for the most part. They have him on some pretty heavy pain meds right now so they are trying to keep him awake as much as possible. The breathing tube is still in but they hope to be taking it out this afternoon. They only had to put it in for the surgery so they are thinking he will manage OK without it. The Doctors expect him to be in a significant amount of pain due to the long surgery and are planning to try some different pain medications after the breathing tube comes out. During the surgery they where able to clear out the left lung of any fluid and blood and where also able to inflate it, so now it will be up to Drew to start breathing with it now. The Doctor are now just monitoring him closely for infections that could come about due to the surgery. Drew has a full time nurse monitoring him at all times and seems like he is in really good hands there in Calgary. We are all trying to be optimistic at this point and the more time that goes by without incident the better. We will update again when there is more news.

    I was just wondering if I would be able to drop off some freezer-meals for the family - to be used now, or later. I tried to stop by the house today, but no one was around. Not that it's a big priority by any means right now, but do you know when somebody will be at the house?

    Thanks!

    Hey Abby this is Nicki Sommerfeldt, Marty's sister in-law. If you want you can drop the meals off to my house. I have a huge deep freeze. I could put them in and get them to Marty when they get back. That is so thoughtful of you and I'm sure they would be very appriciative. You can call me at 403-329-3487

    Thanks

    You will have to let Drew know That Matt Chatterton (along with the rest of the family) fasted for him when they held the ward fast (that extended itself). I think it is the first time in his life that he has EVER fasted. You both continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. We are glad to hear such good news on your updates!
