Well, no coffee or cookies for Stu yet--just that wonderful hospital delicacy of orange Jello. He let the nurse, then me, spoon feed him. He is still asking for Starbucks, however....
The physical therapists are in the room right now getting him out of bed and in the chair again. He is happy to have the catheter out of his bladder, but it hurts to pee. He has been watching golf, moaning,
Oh my goodness---forget the chair, he is going for a walk!! His cute little butt is sticking out of the back of his gown. They are testing the strength in his feet,a nd he is a little wobbly, but seems to be doing fine. The surgeon just came in the room, and said he is doing very well. The brian will have maximum swelling at day 2 and 3, so he may get a little groggy tomorrow and the next day. He will stay in ICU until then, and in the hospital until at least next Monday. All is well so far, and God has been listening.
Thank you for the e-mails and comments. I have been reading them to Stu, and he loves it!

Deb,
ReplyDeleteI just learned from Joanne about Stu and his surgery. How thrilled I am to know that after the torture he is now enduring, everything will be good news. Please give him a hug from both Al and me and tell him we would love to buy him his first cup of Starbucks!
Love, Alice Brovan & Al Smith
Cookies and Starbucks on the way..........
