...and I am a mess. Tim's mom and dad, brother Mike and his wife Kathy, and sister Jeannine are all here to keep me calm :-) which honestly is not working so well. I am stressed to the max! I can't wait til tomorrow night, if you know what I mean...
Everything is still on schedule for the 6am surgery, so we will be leaving our house around 4 to make it down to Charlottesville by 6. We will check into the hotel and then go get dinner. Today is the first time I am so sorry I can no longer drink alcohol :-( I sure could use a mudslide right about now. I will get over it!
Tim is doing fine and enjoying his visit with his family. He keeps saying it will be fine and what he is most worried about is going through all of this and it not working. With all the prayers that keep coming in it is all going to be fine and it will work and he will be as good as new!
I don't know what time I will be able to post tomorrow. But, please stay tuned....

Oh Carie, I wish I had the perfect most inspirational words for you, but I don't. Our family just went thorough multiple brain surgeries ourselves and you just have to keep the faith! They say god only gives us what we can handle, but who says we can handle all THIS right!!!! Why do our husbands have to be the "examples" for all others to live? So many questions, so little answers. Let's just keep our faith in these well educated doctors that know exactly what they are doing and will give you back a new and improved healthy husband in only 6 little hours! Okay, alright....you have another surgery down the road.....well, your 1/2 way there - it will all be just a memory down the road and you'll all be able to tell stories of how strong your family is, be able to see how much this all brought you closer together and realize that you are so much stronger than you ever realized you could be.
Sorry for rambling......your new friend in Colonie, Kym!
Leave it to Kym to figure out how to post! I couldn't figure it out. Duh! Kim is my great friend and I have never been more amazed than when watching her and her husband keep their positive spirits in the face of two surgeries related to a brain tumor. They are amazing!
I don't know what else to say. Of course I am excited, anxious, unsure and completely focused on what is going to happen in the next 24 hours. I am so proud of my brother. He is so brave. Much like Kym and Dan he has kept a positive attitude and it is something I don't think I could do.
Wish I was there. :(

here I am awake at 3:30 when I was supposed to sleep until things were well underway. I am praying with everyone that the surgeons hands are blessed and that God is watching over it all. I pray for my family because this is so hard for us too. We know it will be great but just want it over. I pray for my brave brother. I have so much belief that this will give you the relief you need. I pray for craig and lauren who are such amazing kids who deal with so much. I love you guys.
I am SO relieve and grateful to hear that all went well and the test worked! Can't wait until you are all hooked up for good, my little bionic brother! I pray for speedy recovery from this. BEST MONDAY EVER!!!!!!
