ello Everyone,
Well it was a verrry long day starting at 5:00Am. Bruce was in surgery for four hours and recovery for two hours and yes his surgery was finished before the earthquake! He is resting comfortably in his beautiful suite with a view of the healing gardens at St. Joseph's hospital in Orange. Our doctors and the staff have been outstanding and I know he will be in good hands throughout the night. The surgery proceeded with no surprises and there appears to be no remaining evidence of tumor. Bruce has a temporary iliostomy (sp?) which he hopes will be removed in a few months once everything has healed. He already wants to come home but first we must get him walking and then eating, drinking and eliminating. One function at a time. Amber endured the day with me and her support was invaluable. We were both surprised that with most of his body in an altered condition, Bruce's humor remained intact! The boys spoke with him briefly today and will go in to visit tomorrow. Thanks to all for your prayers, emails , and best wishes. I will try to keep you posted daily.
Love,
Cynthia
