Continued progress
Seth continues to do well with his recovery from surgery. He sat in a chair and watched football for an extended period today and, much to the delight of his nurse and his own painful displeasure, he has been productively coughing now and then. This is very painful to Seth's abdominal incision, but very good for clearing out his lungs and preventing pneumonia. Prior to surgery, Seth made the mistake of making me promise to ensure that he does his breathing exercises after surgery, so I have been the recipient of an annoyed glance a time or two today...but it's worth it. If he continues this progress, he should be able to leave ICU at the end of the weekend and move to a regular room. I'll keep you posted!

Jenny,
I was so glad to see the first post after surgery and was hoping for more good news on the blog today. Glad you were able to update everyone and that he is doing well. We've been thinking of you all day.
lots of love and good thoughts to you,
Natalie

Jenny,
I am so relieved that Seth is doing well post-op. On Friday, I couldn't wait for your post, so I called Rob for the update.
When Seth is up to it, I would very much like to come back (either Philly or State College) and visit with him like I wish we had gotten to do last month when all of this trouble with his esophagus started.
I didn't tell you before, but I have told many people how impressed I was with both you and Seth when I visited last month. The way you have both responded to life's difficulties is a testament to the love you share for each other and the willpower that you both possess. I am proud to call you both "friend".
If there anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
Ted

We just found out about Seth's fight with cancer. You both are in our thoughts and prayers. We are thrilled to hear that he is responding well after his surgery. Although we are out west, if there is anything at all that we can do to help, please let us know.

Hi Jenny and Seth,
Several coughs a today may get you home to play! : )
Here's hoping your pain meds are doing the trick.
What will they let you eat first?

Seth & Jenny,
Glad to hear that things have gone well. I'm praying for you and the kids; if there's anything at all that you need done here in State College, Philadelphia, or anywhere in between, please let me know. Everyone's thoughts are with you.
