walk and breathe
Shawn's job for the day: get pain under control, deep breathing, get out of bed and walk. That's it, all he has to do all day long is walk and breathe. May not sound like much but I think it's going to be a challenge nonetheless.
They just took out his chest tube this morning. Not much fun but now there's now one less tube in him. They are also switching pain medication today. Hopefully that will help him conquer both the walking and breathing.

Oh I'm so relieved the surgery went well. I wish you the speediest recovery Shawn!!
