Resting tonight

It is almost midnight here in Texas and I am finally grabbing a bite to eat in the hospital cafeteria. Mikey did very well in surgery and recovery. He woke up very thirsty and had several apple juices before we saw him. He is now resting in the ICU tonight and will probably go to a regular room tomorrow afternoon.

Mikey appears to have come through the operation in pretty good shape. He is able to move his arms and legs, which is a good sign.  He is experiencing weakness with his left arm and leg, but that was to be expected.  We are happy that he is able to move them right now. It will still be a couple of days before we have a better idea how is doing neurologically, but it is looking pretty good right now.
