Brief Update

Steve is still in the hospital as they continue to get the infection from the bowel perforation under control. Things change day by day but as of this writing we are expecting that he will be home sometime this week. The surgery has been postponed for a couple of weeks to give him time to get stronger and healthier beforehand.

We're happy to report that he’s been able to get outside occasionally to enjoy the sunshine and beautiful weather and is looking forward to more of that when he gets home.

I am looking out our upstairs window into the beautiful green, and hope that you are able to bask in some spring and green, and hear some birdsong when you return home soon.
