Thought I should take a minute to put Todd's recovery thus far into perspective. He is doing really, really well and making great strides and improving every hour, that being said, he still has had major, major surgery and very much looks and feels like it. My reports come from the perspective of someone who feels like they've won the lottery every hour that he continues to move forward. The fact that we caught this, the fact that nothing happened between Friday and surgery day and then the fact that he has come safely through the surgery has me feeling on top of the world. He could smile at me and I'd think he'd just scaled the equivalent of Mount Everest.
He on the other hand is right in the middle of the most grueling task he's probably ever faced. He's doing an amazing job, but he's feeling every second of it.
Thanks for these updates, Cecily. I hope you are taking care of yourself and getting enough rest. I've always known Todd to be brave and strong, but he's really proved it during surgery and recovery. I hope he feels better real soon. I look forward to a short visit when he's ready.
