Good News

By BK -
We are negative for Hydrocephalus again! While that is good news on its own, there is better news. Since it hasn't shown up yet, there's a very good chance it won't at all, so we won't have another CT to monitor it for another month, and then 6 months after that so things are looking up.

Rachel and I we're able to get out of the house tonight for a much needed 'date.' We went to go see the Thrashers play the Minnesota Wild here in Atlanta thanks to some free tickets. It was nice to get out a bit and scream and yell. Plus it was like when Rachel and I were first dating and I started introducing her to hockey taking her to the games I had in my half of our Wild Season tickets back when we lived up there. We sort of felt normal for a little bit there, and then a wave of tiredness hit us both at about 9pm and we barely made it through the rest of the game, but I can't leave a hockey game early, especially a MN Wild game! The Wild won 4-2, which was an even greater gift!

Now we need to go get some sleep.

We thought of you last night while watching the game on TV! We were at the bowling alley prebowling for our league, and either Ben or Steve's dad asked "Is Brian at the game tonight?" and Steve and I both said, no he wouldn't be there tonight. So I just had to laugh reading your blog entry. Glad you two got the chance to get out of the house for a date! Especially a HOCKEY date! :o)

Can't wait to see you in a couple of days!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

By BK -
We've got so much to be Thankful for this year! especially all of the help and well wishes we've received from all of you. We've got a healthy baby boy, with a couple of major issues, but all things that can be dealt with in time. We're so happy and lucky to have him. We're finding out fast that there are some great people down here that have offered their ears, their arms, and their wallets to us. We've got great support almost nationwide too! So as a quick little sign of thanks we've got this little video for you all to see the little guy in action.

Surgery Update Numero Tres

By BK -
We're in his room with him right now! He's rather puffy right now and his bandages come down to the tip of his nose, but he's here with us. Everyone says he's done very well. His bandages almost make it look like he's just got a big white winter cap on pulled low on his head. He's pretty quiet right now since he's still sleeping off some of the anesthesia. He's got an IV going to give him some extra fluids and he's on oxygen for the time being. Both of us are rather hungry since we could barely eat anything this morning and now that its all over we're realizing we haven't really eaten much of anything since 6:30 this morning and its just past 2pm now. We're still trying to figure out the lay of the land here in the PCA section of the hospital, but it sounds like one of us should be here at all times to watch over him, which puts a little monkey wrench into our plan of getting Rachel out to the RPA 15th anniversary party on Friday
