It's the Day After...

Let me apologize for not updating this blog yesterday. It was an insane day...

They took Tim in right at 6. He had his halo put on and then went in for surgery about 8. I got called about 12. The whole thing took 6 hours, just like they predicted. From the time I left him at 8, til the time I got the call at 12, I felt every second tick by one slow moment at a time. That was the worst feeling EVER!!!!!

When they implanted the electrodes, they test it to make sure it isn't a dud. Tim said as soon as they turned it on it stopped the tremors - a blessing in and of itself. Unfortunately, that is just a teaser and we need to wait a while til he heals from this to get the battery pack implanted and the device programmed. So, at least we see what is in store for us over the next few months. Personally, I couldn't be more happy for him. RELIEF - it is coming!!!!

He came out of surgery groggery as you can expect, but joked around the minute he could. The recovery room nurse called me to let me know he was there and asked if I wanted to talk to him. Tim came on and I said "Hi honey, how you feeling?" he sarcastically replied, "Who is this?". YEAH! He was back to himself in no time with a really BIG headache.

So, it is the day after and he is good. He has a headache and some bleeding from the incisions as you can imagine, but it looks like he can go home tomorrow.

I am so happy that I could cry, oh wait, I did that already! Thank you all again for all your prayers, thoughts, good wishes, and comments. I will let you all know when we are safely home tomorrow...
