Day 3 Afternoon Update

Hi all, it's Kristie.  I came home to shower (always a good thing...), and I thought that I would add a short posting.  Jon had a good night last night.  He opened some fun gifts from his sisters, and now, his room is rocking with an electronic fish bowl.  I slept on a lovely pull out couch in his private room. They did put the oxygen in his nose because he had an arrhythmia last night which they are keeping an eye on, but it's a normal occurence after surgery and not symptomatic.  They increased his pain medicine today as well, since he is in a lot of pain as expected.  This morning, Jon got up and took another two laps around his floor, and his goals today are to walk and sit in the chair a few times.  They said the earliest he will be released is Monday.  Also, they took off his neck and chest dressings today.  I will post a pic in a bit.  That's all I can remember for now.  What I want to add is that Jon has been a rockstar.  He is so strong and inspiring.  Also, he is grateful for everyone's support and love, and we are grateful that he has kept his sense of humor through all the pain. Thanks all.  Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
