He's a tough guy!

Dad slept about 4 hours straight last night. Not bad for being in a hospital! They took out his epidural and he went for an early morning walk, had cream of wheat and toast for breakfast and took a three hour nap! He gets to shower today and get rid of his IV pain meds. All of this gets him closer to being able to go home. We think he may be home by Wednesday.

The surgeon came in while Dad was napping and said Dad was doing well and "He's a tough guy. We are all really pleased with his progress." Another member of the urology team came in and said the surgery Dad had is the "hardest" (most extensive) one they do and that Dad is coming through it very well.

Dad had a fun visit with Aubrey and Xander today. They rode Tracks up and Xander loved riding on the "city train!" Xander and I hiked up the hill behind the hospital and waved to Gramps from the top of a big rock!

Tim went home this morning, Dennis and Debbie will leave tomorrow. It was great having them here and I am so very thankful for all their help. I miss them already!

Love to you all - Dayna
