Todd is making great progress post surgery.  He is walking the hallway of the 7th floor at the Lahey hospital and the pain is slowly decreasing. Thank God for pain medication.  The insides of his body are starting to wake up so he is  starting to have fluids by mouth and hopefully some small amounts of food by tomorrow.  Not sure of the exact discharge day but the doctor said he is doing great and I am assuming by the end of the week ( Thursday or Friday) he should be coming home if all continues to go well.  I am home to see hElla for a couple days and will be returning on Wednesday.  Todd's  sister is with him at the hospital.
