nerves are brittle today...

My son left for the hospital at 5:30am this morning. The procedure he has to undergo is minor in the grand scheme of things, but when you open up a child's skull to insert an instrument inside, it's never minor. I'll be there later this afternoon to handle things there for a while. (Why am I not there now?) Simple. You saw the other two children in the pic I put up earlier.

I'm mad that I didn't get up to say good bye to him, but its probably better, because I would've been a sobbing pile of mush guts. We haven't had to do this for 4 1/2 years, but this will be close to his 35th surgical procedure, so it still is hard as hell to endure.

Ok. I'm done. I'm probably going to be opening up a "carepage" website in the coming days on Jonathan, if anyone's interested, let me know, and I'll give you the link.

I've got my fingers crossed for you Mike. I totally agree with you. They may say it's minor but they are opening his skull up so I don't think that's minor. You and your family are in my thoughts.
