I just spoke with mom, who told me that she had good news and so-so news.
The good news: she had just spoken directly to Huey on the phone! He's now comfortably established in his new "regular" hospital room - still in the Cardiac Care area and just around the corner from the CICU. She said he sounded great and very much like his normal self. He had been up and walking around. She asked if he wanted other people to call him and he said, "NO!" I won't be offended if all of you wont. ; )
The "so-so" news is that he's been told that he probably won't be "sprung" until after the weekend - possibly Monday. I know he and mom are a bit disappointed about that, but in grand scheme of things, we're just so lucky that he's doing so well. I remember that Dr. Gammie told me that the first 24-48 hours after surgery offer the most possibilities for complications. He's now moved past that window and seems to be doing better all the time.
If anyone is interested and wants to have faith in the USPS, his mailing address is:
University of Maryland Medical Center
22 South Greene Street
Baltimore, MD 21201-1595
Attn: Weinberg 6/Hugh McVeagh
Probably no more updates until tomorrow.
