I saw Stu in the recovery room. He is awake and talking to me. His head hurts (duh), and he wants the bandage off. I will make sure that I get a picture of the skull cap and post it on the blog. His upper lip is a little bit swollen, and his face just a little bit puffy, but not bad. His parents haven't seen him yet, but should be able to soon.
Stu will have a CT scan in the morning (routine). He has a drain under his scalp to drain any blood from under the skin, and lots of IV's coming out of his arms and neck. Yes, he has a catheter in his bladder, in case any of you guys want to know.
I'm here for the night, camping out on a chair or the floor. Stu can't get rid of me no matter how hard he has tried!! What a lucky guy....

Hugs and God's blessings to ALL. The "family in waiting" has a real endurance trial in waiting and watching - but you're not alone. Prayers for peaceful days for Stu during his recovery. Love from Alice and Ron's friends in Iowa.

Hi Dr Bash!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates! So glad today went well. I look forward to the pictures! You and your families are in our thoughts.
Yeah!!! We're so glad to hear he's recovering and it went well, even if it was a LONG day! We've been following along, and tried to post a few messages...but alas, computer difficulties...

PS...And to you, Deb,
Hang in there! Not to take anything away from what Stu is going through, but I know this stuff is brutal on the spouse. My prayers are going out to you as well! Remember to take care of yourself so you can take care of him. He is lucky to have you!
Thanks for all of the updates--technology is wonderful!

Deb,
ReplyDeleteYou've both been thought about all day. Lots of prayers are coming to you and we're glad that the surgery has gone well. Both of you try to get some rest. Stuart Lacey (I work with him) sends his best as I had told him today of Stu's surgery.
I'll send him the blog site as well.
Take care Deb!
