Shahin just came out of his surgery and he is doing just fine, except for a bit of nausia and pain, which is to be expected.  Wonderful news!

They put in 3 bridges instead of sutures (I personally have never heard of this), so there is no chance of rupture again.

His white cell count is up to the 3,000 range, which is another plus for the day.

He is still having a hard time maintaining his platelets, so he gets some on a daily basis.

Overall, he is doing well.  I’m hearing that his sense of humor is in full swing, which is a great sign of his mental strength being were it needs to be.  He is one heck of a fighter.  I can’t be any prouder to have him as a brother.  When I grow up (I’m a few days short of 50) I want to be just like Shahin!

His daily score: 6
