Dad's condition is wonderful. I just spoke with his nurse and he is doing "very well". She is anticipating the imminent removal of his ventilator and his return to consciousness (such as it is). When last I saw him, late last night, he looked fabulous. The usual swelling that they prepared us for, and that he experienced greatly during his last trip to the OR, manifested only in his hands. When my mom (dad's ex-wife), Beth and I visited him last night, we were shocked and thrilled to find that Dad actually looked like himself! The surgeon and the nurses are very optimistic about both his surgical recovery and his long-term improvement in quality of life. We know that your thoughts are still with him and our entire family thanks you. I will continue to update as necessary, but feel free to write if you'd like more info.
