hospital stay update 1

Hello everyone and a very big thankyou to all of you for your love & support during this time.
Great big hugs to all the many visitors and providers of food.

God was faithful in aiding the surgeons during Jurgens' surgery. Both surgeons were pleased with the outcome of the surgery and reconstruction.
He was in surgery for about 10 hours, his left eye was not effected by the cancer. Thankyou Lord.
During my visit in the SICU the day of the surgery he was able to see me and talk!!!! (We all know how much Jurgen loves to talk so this was a great relief to him and me).
Friday morning he was quite happy to be sitting up and talking clearly and he even was able to partially smile. Friday afternoon he was much more tired as he had been through some therapy sessions and his anesthesia was wearing off and the swelling had increased.
He his very grateful for all of your prayer and Our Lords Graciousness.

  4. Oh what a relief!--He's talking and smiling!!(we'll have to remember how happy we are now--BECAUSE there will be a Jurgen opinion in the future that we may not agree with!!) glad everything went better than expected and that he's responding so well.
    Kathy-remember that a good caretaker has to take good care of themselves also--so, what can we do for you? please let us know!
