Yesterday's surgery, planned to be the first of two, was successful! The surgery was nearly 8 hours, lasting from 1:20 to 9PM. Permanent precision metal reinforcements were used. Though injuries to the vocal cords had been in question, they were found to be in very good condition. To keep the reconstructive process on track, the surgeons will likely keep Todd in the hospital over the weekend and have scheduled the second surgery for the first part of next week.
He was moved from ICU to room E401 prior to his surgery, but check with Albany Medical Center before you send him anything to be sure that you have the right room number in case he has moved again. (See the previous post that contains the the Albany Medical Center mailing address.)
The Smiths appreciate all of those that care about Todd and his successful recovery, expressed and unexpressed.

Thanks for the update....I've been praying and thinking about Todd every day, so that's wonderful news! I can't imagine if he couldn't yell at us anymore "Get off your butt and move!" Thank goodness, he'll be back to normal in no time!
Thanks SO much to the guy/gal who had the idea to post & maintain this blog - what a great way to keep freinds/family updated.I know that Todd's family are very appreciative for all the love & support your all sending their way - keep it coming!
Todd,
