raystrobel47Everything is going well with Dave.
As of now, Dave is resting from a successful operation. His wife, Melanie, is back home after more than 24 hours of adrenaline-induced activity. My folks are home having dinner. David's elder daughter will drive from San Antonio tomorrow to pick up Melanie and my folks to see Dave during on of the 30 minute visitation periods he has twice a day. He will be in the hospital for 7 days. Melanie has been checked on as well as David by the liver team they were seeing before he got called, and Dave is in an ICU reserved exclusively for organ transplant recipients. Remarkably, in this situation if anything could have gone right, it has. David has a long haul ahead of him, but this step is so huge, and he's had one of the best teams working on him in Houston's Hospital District (St. Luke's).
To all of you who have read and commented, publicly or privately, thank you. I told my mom this and will call Melanie to let her know that Dave has had well wishes span across both coasts of the US, and from Australia to England. Melanie has performed nearly flawlessly in keeping her spirits up, keeping up with all the activity and taking care of what was needed. I am so relieved that things have gone so smoothly, and I appreciate so much your time to post just a few words. Just a few means so much.
