His temp stayed low the night before and all Tuesday. He didnt go above 100.6. He wants to start writing notes to communicate better, he is unable to really write legibly yet but keeps practicing. His neck is very swollen and they did a CAT scan and the swollen is just dead tissue so it will be a simple procedure to remove it. Today (Wednesday) is a big day! The surgery starts at 11 and after it will be much of a relief for him. beside the surgery, he is also very excited about the announcement today to see who are the new starters on the cowboys team for the upcoming season, and dont worry y'all, he will definitely be back on his feet for football season! Go Cowboys!
I cannot express how exciting it is to see him light up when loved ones come in. he has been asking bout the weather and how every one else is doing...aw, what a sweet guy...
His organs are now turning him around and picking up the slack - a good sign his body is taking care of itself.
On Tuesday it had been slightly difficult for Steven. He seems relaxed but also discomforted by laying in the same position for 18 days.
There have been many funny moments here in the hospital room. The other day, drew and I were up here and we were all just sitting, not really saying much, and all of a sudden Steven perked up and said "where is my phone?" with a really concerned look! Drew, surprised at the question, responded back with the same perplexed "where is your phone?" and Steven lifted his arms up and said "I dont know!" HAHA, i mean, give it a rest Steven!
Ill post later when he is out of his surgery...every one wish him luck!

Go Steven! You are the man! So happy to hear all of the good news. I think those nurses better look out - trouble is coming. ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you.

Steven,
ReplyDeleteI just heard about what happened.
I've moved out of Los Angeles and my wife and baby and I live in North Santa Barbara County now, so I can't stop by and say hi, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
(And if you want to naturally clean up that nasty dead tissue, look into taking some systemic enzymes!)
