First of all, THANK YOU ALL for the donations I have already received. I'm going to get that money to his wife. Hopefully she can find someone with gas for sale so she can get out & about a bit. She hasn't been home yet as far as I know.
As for Gary
All of the surgery is done (hopefully). They moved Gary to ICU satellite, and are weaning him off the tubes. He wasn't thrilled about the oxygen mask. Sounds like me, I can't stand anything strapped on my face.
He can speak a little now, but after full facial reconstruction, I'm sure the effort to speak is VERY painful.
As for the stroke damage, they are hopeful that the damage has been done.
His left side movement is still working.
I guess the plan now is to try to control the pain while he heals. If they have a therapy schedule, I have not heard it.
I guess that is the best update yet. Now comes the hard part. Enduring the pain and the upcoming therapy is next, so please keep up your prayers.
God Bless

PS: I'm trying to get an address for cards. That's not a priority in ICU.
as soon as I can find an address, I'll let everyone know.
