Tuesday, 9:00 am Update

Wow!!!! What a difference a day makes!!!! Steve had a great night last night!!!! He slept from about 9:30 pm to 4:30 am. Then he got in his chair and slept until the doctors started coming in at around 6:30. They are so pleased with his progress! Yesterday he had apple juice and chicken broth and did not get sick so today they are going to give him more of the same with maybe some jello and other soft foods. I never thought we'd get excited over jello!! Steve's pain is a little less each day and his walks around the hall are getting much faster. I think today I'll let him push his own IV pole! Thanks to everyone for being patient and not coming to the hospital to visit just yet. It's so important that Steve get as much rest as possible. He will need your visits and friendship when he gets home - he will have at least 6 weeks recovery time once he leaves the hospital. Please keep those prayers coming for a full and speedy recovery.

Hi, Steve!
I'm so glad to hear how well you're doing. When you're up to it, let us know so J. and I can visit. Keep resting and getting better every day. Our prayers are still with you.
Sending my love and prayers,
Christy (J.'s girlfriend)

Hey Mr. Steve!!!
I am so happy to hear this good news. You are such a strong man and I have no doubt that you'll be running the halls with that IV pole very soon! You are and will continue to be in my prayers.

God Bless,
Michelle Reid (aka Foghorn)

Well I would like to take this opportunity to volunteer for anyone whao has prepared food for Steve not knowing he will not be able to eat it for a while to take and eat all that has been prepared so it will not go to waste and I will report to Steve as to it's quality! Let's go to the beach and chill out for a while Stevie Boy!
