Cautiously optimistic

A little update for Easter afternoon.

Dave had another scan this afternoon and Blessed Be... it was clear! We are cautiously optimistic at this point.

He will be back in surgery tomorrow (that will be the 3rd surgery since last Wednesday) to clean the wounds and scrape again if necessary. There will be another scan scheduled for Tuesday after that.

His color and vital signs are very good today, no fever to speak of. He is still heavily sedated and slept through the two visiting blocks that I was there (6 hours worth). I don't believe he will need to be catching up on his sleep after this! I will be going back this evening to sign the consent forms for the surgery, with any luck I'll get to talk to him tonight and actually see the color of his eyes. He's been spoiling me, so far every evening he's woken up for me. Doesn't that sound just like Dave a few years back? Up all night and asleep all day!

He's going to be a little miffed when he wakes up and realized that his chest has also been shaved! Oddly enough, his sister Cecile and I had been joking with him on Friday that we were going to wax his chest while he was sleeping! Strange how that happened anyway!
