9:45pm Monday - The doctors say I'm stable, my blood gasses are acceptable but they still need to work on regulating my blood pressure. That is pretty normal for the first 24 hours after surgery.

Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Barb & Aunt Di went home around 4pm because mom & dad (and I) need some rest - it has been a pretty tough day today! Mom & Dad went to the Ronald McDonald house for some sleep & dinner. They said that several different groups take turns bringing in food - like the UofM Fraternities & Sororities. They had quite a variety of food! They have to do chores as part of their stay at the house, today they cleaned the play room.
