WOW is all I can say!! It has been an emotional day today! Surgery went great Dr. Tanaka was so please with how well it went! She took a 1 inch wide, 1 1/2 inch long and 1 inch deep piece of brain! She even showed us a picture of the piece she took out, Wow!! Mitch has quite a bit of healing to do, it can take up to a year for it to heal completely! We haven't really asked about his restrictions yet but I don't think it will be too much! He is the strongest, bravest man I know and I'm so proud to call him mine:)!! Last night we received pizza for dinner from the Randy and Lori Stoll family and today we recieved hot box cookies from the Untiedt family! They were warm and amazing, thank you sooo much! We are very humbled by all the prayer warriors and supporters out there! It's hard to put it into words how grateful we are for all our wonderful friends and family! It's truly amazing how Mitch's story has spread so quickly! It spread all the way to Surprise Stadium in Arizona! While we were waiting for Mitch to come back to his room from recovery, we received a video message from a friend who was at Royal Training camp. It was a video from Greg Holland (Royals #1 relieve pitcher) sending his prayers and support to Mitch! Thanks so MUCH Adam Wiederholt, Mitch LOVED IT! Although he was a bit jealous you saw him in person! We can't believe the day has FINALLY come, it has been a complete whirlwind but definitely worth the wait! They will not start taking him off his medicine for at least a year and maybe even two! We will continue to pray that the surgery worked and Mitch's seizure slowly decrease and are eventually gone for GOOD! God is good, St. John Lucci is good and all our prayer warriors are good! Our prayers are continually being answered and we are so thankful! We ENJOYED all the pictures today, it helped pass the day today! It brought tears to MOM'S eyes on more than one occasion. I know she is completely overwhelmed and glad the journey for her baby boy is almost over! It has been a long road for her and I know she thought this day would never come. Thanks again for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you all!
P.S. If everything continues to go as good as it has we may be home by the end of the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!
From Mom and Tiff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
