too blessed to be stressed

hiya yall!
so, here is the scoop... steven is even better then yesterday, he is all smiles and laughter! my uncle mark arrived this morning and when he walked into the hospital steven grabbed his brothers hand and said "you saved my life", and mark said "no brother, it was all from right there" and pointed to stevens heart. my eyes nearly filled up with tears...but i think my tear makers have run dry and are out of order... it was a tough experience for all of us but he is out of the woods and there is no more reason to worry...Too blessed to be stressed!!
so now, the whole party is in stevens hospital room and we are all laughing...polly washed his hair and combed it into a mohawk...we got a few good pictures.
also, to clear things up from the last post: every day is better than the last and so sometimes i think "wow, he is really back, this is the whole steven" and then the next day i say "no, yesterday he was still a little off, but thank god he is totally back in reality now!" - so anyway, before when i said he "didnt really get it, all that he has been through that is" i think he was still coming off the dope. he really really really does seem like he finally has digested the whole timeline now and does realize how serious this has been. .....speaking of digestion, he is getting the feeding tube from his nose that goes into is stomach out today, and are going to start feeding him through a tube that they put directly into his intestines....a pretty easy and uncomplicated way to take a lunch break.
so, as far as we have been told, he will be in here anywhere from a week to two weeks, they just want to hold him until his blood levels are completely normal and they are sure his body will accept the new tube feed.
my mother is taking off today...everyone is very disappointed that she cannot stay longer. she has been such a tremendous help, she has been here at the hospital every moment that she could and she helped steven in more ways then one. he completely brightened up when she would stay and my mother has always been a master emotional supporter, she really helped him heal and i just want to thank her for that.....You're such a bad ass mom! Now uncle mark is here, and he will be here the following week, already this situation is loosing the drama plot and turning into a comedy!
thank you again everyone, especially to the family.
talk to yall soon (with more progress and good news no doubt!)
