Have you ever thought that a surgeon would make a good seamstress?

After lunch, Joel's surgeon came to check on him.  As he described how the procedure from yesterday went, I couldn't help but think of a seamstress.  He was using words like sewing, cutting, and stapling. Just an wacky observation.

Joel's surgeon, Dr. John Oro, went through the surgery step by step.  The crowding in Joel's skull was pretty severe. As soon as his skull was open the movement of his spinal fluid visible improved.  Overall, Dr. Oro was very pleased with the surgery.

Joel will get moved out of the ICU this afternoon and they will discharge him after he can walk down the hall, take pill form pain killers, walk up and down the stairs, eat well, and his has had a successful bowel movement.  So far, he has walked down the hall, ate two full meals, and his IV meds are minimal. Dr. Oro was very please with his progress.

Joel is resting now and enjoying the Rockies game.

Looking better!

Eating lunch...loved the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and pudding.

Reading the blog.

I know, I was feeding his addiction but I made sure to take his phone with me when I left.

Hoping to be back later with the kids.
