Stu had a rough go during surgery yesterday, but he is no longer under sedation and there isn't seizure activity so far, which is really good! Stu's mom and Aunt are there with him, so he sees smiling faces when he wakes up. He has wiggled his toes and the vitals are good.
Everyone is wondering... how I'm doing. Well, scared some times and very often hopeful and basically still just same old Sandi. I'm not depressed, desperate or unable to function from sadness. I haven't neglected myself in the midst of this. I see friends, I eat healthy, I exercise, I do fun things, I cry when I need to, I take care of myself and our girls, I'm not abusing drugs or alcohol (or caffeine). It's a lot, but as a wise women recently said "I can do hard things". She's right (love her!!)! And I'm taking care of myself and keeping the girls close (Teenagers!!! But that's another topic!). And Stu is soooo positive and just glad to fight and continue to work at being present for all of us. I love that man and I'm up for everything and everywhere our ride together takes us to. Stu takes care of us too. He folds laundry, pulls weeds and waters the lawn. He walks the dog, cuts the roses (and cut the pretty rose for me), he goes to movies and still kicks by butt at chess, goes to lunch with friends, is always present for the girls... see, awesome! We're good. We will always be good cause we are surrounded by so much love and support.
I hope we can take Stu home on Monday, but I'm not sure with all the seizures that have happened if he will need to stay longer or get to leave. It's a wait and see game right now.
Stu is up for brief visits if you are in LA. It's at 2121 Santa Monica Blvd. Santa Monica CA. He's in ICU/Recovery at this time. You just ask where he is at the front desk if I haven't posted a room #.
Thanks for caring!
Sandi & Stu, Stella and Jaida too!
Love you all! Go Stu go!
