Update! I talked to him on the phone last night. He called me from Syracuse. I guess he had some slight complications, where a drainage tube was not functioning. He had to return to Syracuse for some follow up treatment. He is doing fine and was waiting for his girlfriend to pick him up, to head home. He was a little groggy, but I told him about this thread, and he plans on chiming in soon. So far so good! Thanks again guys for the well wishes!

edit!
I guess he beat me to it. LOL
