Eli doing well.

Eli is such a trooper! He came through surgery very well - textbook according to Dr. Bellflower. He was very stable post-op so they decided to send him to the regular hospital surgical floor rather than the ICU. I stayed with him last night. He is comfortable and sleepy. We haven't seen a smile yet.......that will be the sign that he is OK with life again!

Todd will spend today and tonight with him - and I will go back in the morning. I have been in touch with Todd by phone and he reports he has eaten a few bites and had a few sips of juice. He had 2 IVs- both have come out in the last 24 hours - just his restlessness. Dr Bellflower visited and is happy with his progress. Changed his dressing and thinks his incision looks good.

Hopefully we will get to come home on Saturday.

More news as it is available.
