Surgery is set!

Well surgery is set for June 10th, this is where they will open his head, remove his skull, place the grid on his brain and then put his skull back on and wrap him shut! Then on June 17th he will have his second surgery where she will have all the documentation that she needs to remove the part of the brain that is causing all the seizures! Sounds pretty simple...right? We are very excited to get this done and PRAY like heck that this is the answer to our prayers!!! Today we met with Dr. Tanaka and she is just so confident that this is going to be it! We just LOVE her and trust her!! Mitch will be in ICU from June 10-19 and then moved to a room and we hope to be home by the 22nd or so. Mitch really is taking all this news well and we are very proud of him and how honest he is with Dr. Tanaka, He really doesn't feel good and he really wants to feel better. Thank you all so much for all the prayers and encouraging words for us, we truly wouldn't be able to get through this without you all! Love you all and PLEASE Dear Lord guide Dr. Tanaka's gentle hands over my baby, let her remove the damaged brain and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let this be the last one. I want nothing more than to have my baby boy happy and feeling great!! AMEN

Getting Closer to Surgery!

This ole World just continues to go by so fast. When we found out Mitch was going to have surgery back in Feburary we thought that it seemed so far away and now Mitch is all done with his classes and ready to head to a couple Royals games in May and then here we come Columbia! They did call last week and change his appointment from May 2 to May 9, Dr was out of town on the 2nd! Then they called back the next day and wanted to get Mitch "in the books" for surgery, so right now his TENATIVE date for surgery is June 10th. This will all get finalized on the 9th of May when we meet with surgeon! We continue to pray that this surgery will be the answer to our MANY prayers and Mitch will finally feel better. Thank you all so much for the continued prayers and support you have given us through this journey. We really do appreciate them all. Last week was a whirlwind week and our hearts were broke a couple times as a couple of my cousins went through the worst days of their life. Please say a quick prayer for my Cousin Eileen Love and her family as her husband was killed in a motorcycle accident and she laid him to Rest a day after their 30th wedding anniversary. My Cousin Jaime Andrews and her husband's 11 year old son was killed on Monday. It was a week of heartache and many tears shed for both of them this week. I pray for comfort for both of these families to find peace in their new NORMAL life. Please remember life is fragile and give lots of love and hugs as you never know at the beginning of one day what the ending will be! Thank you all and I will keep you all posted on what we find out the 9th. Love you all more than you will ever know!!!!! Theresa
