Lots of great things happened today. The blog got posted, that was good. Lots of fantastic people posted comments-that was even better!
Deuce started the day by basically upchucking on Dr. Rose, the surgeon who saved his life by rushing him into surgery to snip that pesky peice of bowel. Dr. Rose was unphased and said, "guess we aren't going to start tube feedings today huh?"
One of the residents accompanying Dr. Rose left the room quickly when the cookie upheaval began. Deucer thought that was kinda funny later.
We are now awaiting the People Choice Awards by watching...Wheel....of...Fortune! Hopefully, Deuce will take the Hughes boys advice and keep his cookies tonight!
Seriously thanks to all of you who posted-really brought a smile to his face and to mine. You guys totally rock!

Hey cuz,
OK So the entire time reading through your blog the theme song of "I Will Survive" was replaying through my head! Am I having flashbacks to singing this song sitting on a tractor in your dad's barn with beer at age 16?
You are quite an amazing man my favorite cousin! I always knew you should be a WWF star!
Ryann and I've been thinking about you often and praying for you even more. I even had a dream about you the other night, but we'll leave that one for the next time I see you in person! I miss you like crazy. One downside from our move back to Michigan is being further from you! I truly wish I was there to help! If Gracie were there she would say "Arf" - her favorite word these days.
Your one lucky man to have Dr. and Nurse Feelgood and of course that Dad of yours!
Cheers Cuz, keep your head up - I love you! Sarah
Now personally, if I start the day out with a good ralphing session, that pretty much guarantees that nowhere along the line will I label that a "good day!", but that is why you are Mary Sunshine and I'm....well, maybe just a little bit more on the normal side.
Anyhow....
Hey, Deuce!
I've been thinking about you lots since I saw Mary before Christmas and she told me that you were having some problems. I'm sorry to hear about the crummy journey you've had to go through the past few weeks. It doesn't sound like any fun at all. Keep your chin up...we're all rooting for you!!
Great work with the Blog, everyone. I'll be checking in often!
Hi Deucer!
I met you during Mary and Jeff's wedding, and really hope you're feeling better soon!
I like stories about strange/silly things, so I'm including a few here to crack you up. Hope you like them!
** An unidentified man washing windows while tethered to security ropes at the 20th floor of the Fifth Third Bank building in downtown Nashville, Tenn., in November attracted attention when he remained motionless for about 30 minutes, but it turned out that he was just sound asleep. When fire rescue vehicles arrived, the noise awakened him, and he lowered himself to the street unharmed, according to a report in The Tennessean. [The Tennessean, 11-25-06]
** An unidentified man fled after an unsuccessful attempt at robbing a Git-N-Go convenience store in Des Moines, Iowa, in December, which was foiled when the clerk noticed that the "gunman's" thumb was visible from his pocket, where he was holding his hand to pretend he had a gun. The clerk said he actually had to argue with the man, who continued to insist that it was a gun in his pocket. Said clerk Terry Cook later, "I know what a gun looks like." [Des Moines Register, 12-15-06]
** After a domestic tiff, Steven Rautio took the Christmas tree that he and his girlfriend had just decorated, cut it into pieces with a chainsaw, and burned it in a wood stove, but the stove overheated and burned his house to the ground (National Mine, Mich.).
** The U.K. Noise Association and a British labor union suggested in December that they might take legal action against the "torture" of retail clerks by stores' forcing them to listen to continuous holiday music.
We've never met but I have heard about you from Mary. My name is Michelle and I work with her at Target. I read everything that you've been going through and will be praying for your quick and speedy recovery. I also pray that things smooth out so the rest of 2007 goes much better (and with no other medical issues). I loved Julie's idea of giving you things to cheer you up so here is one email I've collected over the years! I'll try to stop back and leave funny postings.
