July 21st 4:15 p.m. update

I am happy to report Ray is out of surgery and things went well. He is back in his room resting peacefully. He will open his eyes and nod when asked a question. Before surgery he was doing a lot of talking (a lot more than he has at least). The nurse says he will be here for another day or two possibly come home on Thursday. They will have to regulate his meds and get him eating food again. He is happy it is over!!
