Thumbs Up

I just went back and read the last post...I hope that it doesn't sound sad or fatalistic. We are VERY happy the surgery is over and was successful. It went quite well and it's a major hurdle that he's overcome. If I sound less than enthusiastic, chalk it up to:

1) We are very tired...it was an early morning and we didn't sleep a lot last night.
2) There's still one surgery left to go. We were excited by the potential of doing it all at once, and it just extends the day (and the tension).
3) It's going to be a long road. He'll be on a ventilator for weeks to months...some severe cases are here for a year and a half. We are confident he won't be one of those cases, but even the best case will require a lot of patience and strength.
