recovering

Thanks so much for all of your prayers and concern for Steve! I apologize for lack of updates. There is not much new news at this point. The surgery went relatively smoothly but as it is major surgery the recovery seems almost as complicated and intense - at least to this novice! All things considered, Steve is doing well - though I think he is more than ready to be able to eat real food and sleep without monitors, etc.

He will likely be in the hospital until Wednesday though it largely depends on when his body can handle food. My mom will be staying with Steve for several weeks. Again, thanks so much for all the expressions of love and concern for Steve and our family - it means a great deal!
