I'm very happy to report dad is doing very well. Yesterday was my birthday and when I walked into his ICU room, he took one look at me and sang the first words to "Happy Birthday to you". It was so beautiful to hear his voice and to see him up and alert. I couldn't have received a better birthday gift. He spoke to mom and Lisa as well, very clear and with meaning. Other than some slight swelling over his left eye and a partially shaved head, he looked great. All of us that had a chance to visit with him all felt he was doing better than when he went in.
He's scheduled to stay in ICU for at least 2 days then move to a regular hospital bed this weekend. The Valdez family would like to thank all of you, who have continued thinking and praying for a successful surgery. All of your prayers have been listened to and answered. Have a great weekend.
Dear Cuz, so glad to hear that all went well. It's a true blessing for your family. Our prayers continue for a speedy recovery. We Love you all and hope your weekend it a great one. Our love to all. Max and family.

Nice to hear all is good. You know his hair is going to grow back even thicker than it already was! I would tell him that he had thick hair like my Father.."thick skin too"! Love and prayers to you "Primo"!
