Still not sleeping, but count our blessings

The surgery was a 'success' in that the offending tissue was removed with no complications, and we believe that Jeremy has healed up well. However, we are now over two weeks post-op and have only had one really good night (he actually slept 11 hours straight!). Sleep aside, Jeremy no longer sounds congested, his spirits are generally high, and his appetite has really picked up (as they said it might). The other morning he actually downed 4 bowls of Cheerios with milk, 2 carrots, and 2 tablespoons of hummus (the breakfast of champions)! The hospital experience was also very sobering in that we were reminded how very fortunate we are, relative to what some families are dealing with. Thanks to all family and friends who have been such a support during this period!
