visit!!

He is doing really great with drinking his fluids & protein shakes. DVR told him he can exercise and do whatever he feels up to do... Yay for me!!!! ROFLMAO

He weighed 15 pounds less without clothes this morning at DVR's scale with clothes he weighed 13 pounds less. You can already see his face getting slim. I forgot to measure him last week before surgery. I need to get all that together so he can update his OH profile.

He wants to tell you all that he is so grateful for all the great support, messages, good thoughts and prayers that he has received. He has been busy trying to finish up with school. He got his BA in Business and was suppose to walk on August 23rd but he chose to have the surgery instead. He has a 20 page Thesis that he is still working on and 2 papers that are 15 pages each which are due very soon and so he has not had the time to respond to everyone's messages. He wants you all to know that he really appreciates the support.

Thanks again for letting me share our excitement!

Hugs,

Cira & Gino

Cira, that is GREAT news!!!! I'll have to find him on OH and add him to my buddies. Tell him to keep up the good work! WOOHOO GINO!!!!! As for school, tell him to relax and if he needs any help let me know! Walking across the stage is somewhat overrated, I did it for Mom and Dad mainly (and Kylie LOVED it), but it was SO crowded and took way too long. The best part is having the paper in hand!!! Hugs and kisses to all the Saget's!

I will tell him that you offered to help if he needs any. Maybe we can bring you here and you can finish his Thesis! lol

Uh, NO THANKS! Been there, done that! Got the nice shiny paper now and don't wanna do papers anymore LOL If he needs someone to edit or format though, let me know. I've been editing and formatting DISSERTATIONS (120+ pages each for the most part) for my aunt up until last month.

LOL well it didn't hurt to try to get you to finish the papers for him huh? LOL

I will let him know about the editing and formatting. Thanks!

Heather go read the response I wrote to Darla in her movie thread and let me know what you think of that idea?
