T. he day after surgery has been up and down. Will has had quite a bit of pain, but the MDA staff seems to have it under control now. Overall I am very pleased with the staff here at MD Anderson. I know Will has been very frustrated with "feeling like a number, not a person", but their experience and organization are the best. He has gotten very personal attention since his surgery.
His most difficult issue (other than the pain & all of the tubes in his body) is not being able to swallow anything! he can suck on a sponge on a stick, but he must spit out whatever little moisture he gets. He said a big glass of ice water sounds like heaven!
They have him up and walking 3 times a day and he takes it like a trooper! Our daughter and I trade off staying with him, and it is great having her here. Our son and his family left today for KC and I will certainly miss their help..
Thanks for your prayers & thoughts -- we are both anxious to get back home amoung our friends!

Thanks to you and your son for keeping us up to date. The not knowing makes us anxious so we are delighted to get updates. Tell Will to hang in there - it gets better.
