Thank You!

I'd like to express a big thank you to all of you who were kind enough to think about Bill and our family. Because you sent good juju, thoughts, and prayers, the surgeons were able to accomplish all of the tasks they intended without a glitch. Bill has passed the first big surgical hurdle and is recovering as expected in the ICU. He's been extubated, had several of his chest tubes removed, is able to sit in a chair for short periods, and has had a few sips of water. These may not sound like big accomplishments on a normal day, but after you've been in the operating room for more than eight hours and had your chest cracked open, they're big enough.  

Hopefully, Bill will be back home in the nearish future and feeding the birds, deer, turkeys, and occasional bear.  

 

Thanks again and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
