Elita and I just got off the phone again. She's spent the last 2 entire days with Tito at the hospital, only going home for a shower. He only wants her with him, not even the nurses. He's just so uncomfortable. She told me they give him pain medication through his IV every 2 hours. The thing that's bothering him the most is his throat - they likely intubated him for the surgery, so I can only imagine that it's very sore. They're encouraging him to only use signs to communicate. He expressed to Elita today that he wants to hear his guitar again - hopefully we can bring it into the hospital for people to play for him. Before his surgery, Michael was able to get him a cd player and headphones so he can at least listen to some music. Elita said that he's doing a lot of crying. Please pray for our dear friend and his Mom, that the Lord would encourage them and sustain them through this difficult time of recovery! We hope to visit tomorrow or Wednesday during the afternoon visiting hours.
Also, please pray for 3 appropriate blood donors. Tito needed 6 units of blood during surgery, so he received what was needed, but the blood bank at the hospital is asking for more donors to replace what was given. Before the surgery he only had 2 units ready to use, then, finding the tumor larger than expected, the surgery was more complicated, requiring more blood.
Thank you for your faithfulness in praying!!
