All is well...

I always seem to have a long lapse in between updates and I sincerely apologize for that!  Casey's surgery went very well.  It was supposed to be outpatient, but while in surgery the doctors found another hernia a little further up from the incisional hernia he was having repaired.  He had to stay overnight and was not released until very late in the day! So, that makes a total of three hernias that he has had repaired in less than a years time!!  His body is full of mesh!  Mesh is what they use to repair the diaphragm walls so that his organs stay in their appropriate place and not poke out and cause a hernia.  This is just something that we have to be very careful with and watch that he doesn't overexhert himself or lift anything too heavy.  He will always be prone to hernias.

He is doing great liver-wise.  His blood tests are perfect and he feels great!  I wish I had his energy!  I have not been through half of what he has and yet I suffer from fatigue! :-/
