The surgeon said Mike is doing alright for being 2 weeks out from such a major surgery. She even took all his stitches out yesterday herself - 54 or 56 in all. She took more blood and is going to keep monitoring his levels. He has lost 12 pounds since Sunday. He still sleeps a lot and doesn't eat much, but Karen is trying to make sure he gets 4 Ensures a day and proteins like scrambled eggs and shakes. He has no appetite and says everything tastes bad - the surgeon said this is also normal and it might be 3-4 weeks post-surgery before he actually develops an appetite and his taste buds get back to normal.
His birthday is coming up and the family is having a little luncheon on Monday in his honor. We'll try to post pictures so you can see for yourself how he is doing. He doesn't look anything like he does in the pictures in the sidebar.
Thank you for keeping him in your prayers!
