Well here we are into Day 4 of recovery and we're thankful for the healing Steve's experienced.    He's been weaned off nearly all the tubes that assisted during surgery and now is focusing his attention on getting his strength back. It's a day and night process so he's pretty tired.

A special thank you to all of his students and friends at Norton Creek School for the wonderful box of cards that encouraged him and brightened up his day. He's hoping to be able to get to school  to see all of you before summer vacation. 

 Thanks to the doctors and nurses whose gifts have helped him in the most practical ways through these difficult days, and to everyone who has prayed for him and encouraged him on this journey,,,words can't adequately express what it's meant to all of us.
