hello all!
well, like i said before it will just be a matter of days. we had a few set backs, this morning the bandage/dressing on his neck was bloody but the surgeon came right in and froze it shut (or something complicated and medical like that). he said it shouldn't be a problem at all but if it starts bleeding again he will have to go back to the operating room so the doctor can see whats going on inside his neck. i really don't think that it is something to worry about, the doctor didn't seem like it was likely to happen, he was just laying it all out on the table...no more surprises. so besides all of that, they are going to check the amount of drainage coming from his neck and if it continues to be less and less they will take the draining tubes out in the morning and perhaps he will be able to go home by Wednesday! pretty exciting but I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up because things are so conditional right now that it is hard to say or count on anything concrete.
Uncle mark and I are both heading out tomorrow early in the morning. I wish I could sign off to someone else picking this up but unfortunately all the Texas visitors are on hold for a while. perhaps Pilar will keep updating. i dont know yet what will happen when we leave. if he goes home this week he will need a lot of care, drew and rachel will be on top of it but they are only human (but maybe they are super human), so if you can call them and make sure they are okay.
i will be coming back to California to stay at stevens house on the 25-15, he needs almost 24/7 attention. keep your fingers crossed that they dont send him to a long term care facility.
okay, thank you all!!!!!!!
