Thank you all so much for your kind words, prayers, and emails, just knowing your thinking about Bill and Caroline means the world to them! I just wanted to let you know how things are going.
Bill is now in the ICU the surgery was about 7 hours longer than anyone anticipated (for a total of about 17 hours of surgeries). He is breathing on his own, which is great! His left side is responsive, but his right side is unresponsive. This could mean his is temporarily paralyzed or maybe the worse - but of course we are all thinking positive, and it's just a temporary lack of response.
He should be moved out of ICU today or tomorrow. Thank you so much for praying for a man you don't know - it means that there is still hope for this crazy world we live in!
