Update as of today, June 2. My brother is now drinking more water, eating food will be a challenge since he hasn't started that yet. Getting nutrition from an IV. He can now walk around and go to the bathroom by himself.
Doing very well in rehab, but still a ways to go for him. Appears that the health professionals will discharge him sometime this weekend or early next week. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers until he fully recovers. Thanks to all for the support and kind wishes.

Just saw this thread, glad to read that he is on a track to a speedy recovery. Sending nothing but good thoughts down your way. He is in our prayers bud.
Man, I'm sorry he's still in the hospital but sounds like he's doing better, even if in baby steps.
Hope next update will have even more good news!
He's alive and kicking at least. I'll find out this weekend if he is discharged and provide an update.

My brother is doing a lot better, no more tubes stuck in him. He is starting to 'eat' some food, soup broth from what his doctor told me (about time). Drinking lots more water and walking around more with less pain.
He will still need some rehab to get his strength back, but his doctor said that if he keeps this up, will be discharged either Monday or Tuesday. Strength is coming back, since he wanted to walk after his second operation a week from this past Friday (tough bugger).
Keep the thoughts and prayers for him, I appreciate the board's support for my brother.

Final update, and thanks to all who offered their prayers and thoughts for my brother who was in the hospital recovering from gangrenous appendix removal surgery.
On Tuesday, my brother was released from the hospital. He is still weak, but is now eating small amounts of solid food. He has a followup visit with his doctor in two weeks, and my family is hoping that it is the last doctor visit for a long while. I would like to ask all to keep praying and thoughts for my brother until he is back to complete health. He thanks everybody for your support and love.

Final update on my brother, he is doing great. Not at complete strength yet, but he is back at work doing paperwork at least. Now eating and drinking water normally, driving on his own, can go for long walks, but still needs some time before strenuous exercise and going up stairs. He has had some follow up visits with the doctor and has a clean bill of health.
My brother and our entire family thanks you all for the prayers and thoughts.
