So it's done...

7:00AM Wednesday
Charlie's surgery lasted five hours and went as expected.  He had a good night's sleep before and went into it with an amazing sense of humor. Coming out of the anesthesia has been a bit of a challenge for him, but hour by hour he's become more responsive. His first smile was wonderful to see. The CAT scan at 12:00AM was fine, so another good indication. He is doing really well this morning, making funny remarks, asking lots of questions. What a guy!

    Dearest Ann, Charlie, and Family,
    There's a beautiful sunset going on as i write, glinting through a cluster of icicles waving around on honeysuckle shoots. That classic late afternoon bank of clouds suspended over the Adirondacks is picking up every softly smoothed refraction. Sending all of you the expansive sense of well being our beautiful valley has to offer -if only for a mind-wandering moment.
    Ann, thank you for news. Hoping you are finding time to rest now too. (We're here when and if you need us.) So much love,
    xoxMax

    We are delighted over here across the fence! How cool that your niece is in medical school at UVM and could be part of this too. Sending love and light to you all! You are both inspirations to us! Claudia & Al
