Update

After Chip's 2nd surgery he was really uncomfortable(an understatement) with the breathing tube down his throat. The doctors wanted to make sure he was stable before they could take it out. Kyle and I finally left the hospital around 10:30 last night and checked into a hotel close to the hospital. Hope called us around 11:00 to tell us they had taken the breathing tube out. He was able to get a little more comfortable once it was out. Marilyn, Hope and Ben stayed all night at the hospital with him. Kyle and I got up early to go see Chip before we headed home. For all that he has been through he seems to be doing good. I know he is not feeling real good but his body has been through a lot of trauma having 2 major surgeries in 1 day. Kyle wanted to get headed home this morning to tend to things on the ranch. Thank you to all of you who have been praying for our family. It was an emotional roller coaster yesterday and I truly believe everyone praying for us is what got us through the day.
We were very fortunate that Chip's Sister and her Husband and their daughter all work at the hospital that we were at and their other daughter used to work at that hospital. They were all there all day with us and made sure that we were well taken care of. It was a real blessing to have them with us for the support.
