Dear Gil:
I am so glad to hear of successful surgery and good recovery progress! You and Janet have been in my thoughts. I'm envisioning you both home in Port Jefferson enjoying what 's expected to be a very sunny, fully Spring weekend.
Sincerely,
Michelle Santantonio

Hi Gil, Great news all went well and the tubes are out. All those fine Sunday bike rides and x-country skiing junkets will surely pay dividends during your recovery. Get well quickly and be kind to the nurses.
Bill Meyers

Hi Gil-
Hang in there! I have both collegial and personal reasons to be interested, as I have "leaky"valves as well (although apparently not yet so badly that I need to take drastic action). We look forward to your return. Best,

Don Lindsley

Hi Gil-

We are all so glad that things have gone well. Best wishes for an uneventful return to full activity.

We are all thinking of you.

Steve (Shirey)

Glad to hear you are recovering well. Looking forward to your updates. God bless. Jon Farmer

Keep up the good healing! Sending powerful healing waves your way....sue & mike

Hi Gil,

I had a mitral valve repair in December and I remember the removal of that drain tube well. It was not a pleasant experience however; a rather small price to pay for the miracle surgery. I wish you a steady and full recovery.

Terry Tannenbaum

Dad,

Glad to hear that everything is going as can be expected. We hope you are feeling even better today. Our love goes with you.

Emma, Isabel, Tina and Kevin

This is fantastic news! I'm sorry about the soreness, but it seems like things are going perfectly. I'm so pleased. I guess it will be pretty bad food for a while... Love, Sid

Brother Gil, I am so glad that all is going well and that you are on the road to recovery and healing! Milla

Hi Janet,

Thank you for the update. Please give our best to Gil. And you hang in there too. I know it can be just as hard for the person that is right in the middle of it, sitting on uncomfortable chairs and hours of waiting! Such an important job though. Thanks!

Troy

Alleluia! I've spread the good news to the choir and Pastoral assistants who send their good wishes. For now, David & I wish you comfort and patience. Linda K.

Dad
I just could not stand waiting to here how you were. Glad everything went smoothly. We love you.
Darlene and Family

Gil,


I hope you are up and about soon!


All the best!!!

Good News, Gil and Jan! We'll be thinking of you as you progress back to full health. Remember, Gil, when you broke your arm and had to walk back and forth with a pail full of water (?) on the porch at Glenwood in order to recover your strength. It's the burdens we bear that make us strong ... if they don't break us!

Love,
Don & Kathy

Janet and Gil,

Ths sounds like a really successful surgery. I am so pleased. Thanks for the update. Let us know when/ if we can visit.

Troy

Hi Janet and Gil:

This is such great news! Thanks so much for keeping us updates. I'm so pleased that the surgery was a success and still wishing the best for the recovery!

Love,

Sid

Janet:

Thanks for the good news that Gil's surgery went well.

Gil:

Sandy and I hope you are feeling comfortable soon, and eager for a field trip. Central Park is quite close, so we can sneak past the staff (sssh!) and look for Cameron's line. ;-)

Dear Gilbert,

I remember when I was told you had a murmur in your heart. Well, it was much more than I thought. I'm glad to hear you are going to take care of it by surgery, though I feel sorry that you have to go through with something so serious. We found out yesterday when we were at Milla and Phil's house for Easter dinner. Sounds like a long recovery for you by what little I have read in the information in your blog. It's not like having your tonsils out that's for sure! Both Don and I will have you in our thoughts and prayers during the wait until May 14th, your surgery, and the recovery time.

Lots of Love,
Kathy

Dad,

Thanks for making this journal so we can all follow along with the pre-op, surgery and then post op. We all send are love and best wishes and since it is that time of year we also wish you happy Easter. Today while I was at the Canyon Club I was talking with a gentleman who was quoting Emerson and it made me think of you and how much you enjoy long walks. Anyway good luck and will look forward to following your journal entries.

Love Kevin and the rest of the West Coast Hanson's

Dear brother, Gilbert,
Oh, no! When will the surgery be? Our thoughts and prayers will be with you throughout this time. I will watch for updates. Love from your sister, Milla
