Record Time

The doctor just came into the waiting room....and he was SMILING!

This went quicker than we thought and Neil came through the surgery well. He is in recovery. They fixed the hernia and the doc was able to take out the old mesh and put in some new that will hold better and is permanent! The skin graft is gone and in it's place are 42 stitches, but not to fear we have been told that Neil will come out of this looking better than we do!! HA!

The tentative plan by the Doc is that Neil will be sitting up tomorrow and possibly doing a little walking on Friday!

We are still waiting on the final decision as to if he is going to the SICU unit or if he will go on to the regular floor. The fact that they are considering the floor shows just how well the surgery went. We are so grateful, excited and of course we are ready to see Neil.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and we will update you again after we see him!
