Bruce's surgery was successful, but it did take 4 days for his body to adapt. He has run fevers for almost 2 weeks straight. His speech is hard to hear at times yet I am thankful it is there. He has good days and lives in the past often. I'm trying everything to bring him peace and comfort as he discovers things over and over for the first time again and again. I love my Bruce and it has been a hard journey but I cherish each moment we get to share. Only God knows the ending to this but the hospital is purdicting 1-2 more months is all Bruce's body can endure this.
Here is a very privite moment I will share with you all because it so reflicts my Bruce. I walked into his room to greet him with a smile, kiss and lots of hugs as usual. Then he said this,"Give me your hand and place it on my Heart." So I did.
He said, "Can you feel my heart beat?...Now feel it as if you can hear it." "OK Honey," I said as I watched his face of seriousness along with a joy that today he had clear speech. "Do you feel that" he asked. "Yes I do....Why?", I asked. "Because it is going to stop soon and when it does, I want you to remeber my heart beat, how it feels and take that with you and remember where ever you go Know I am with you and my heart will always beat for you from afar."
That is my Honey. Love to you all.
Bruce and Shelly

Dear Shelly, What a very touching message you wrote. We pray that the Dr's will be wrong and Bruce will make it. I want to see you this week sometime before Friday, your big 10th ann. Even if it is in the hospital I will come and see you. Take care my dear friend. Love Faith
