I went to the hospital at 6 this morning to spend some time just me and Andrew. We had breakfast, watched movies and hung out. Rachel came in around 9 and we chatted and tried to act out an episode of Dora the Explorer. Andrew was not impressed.

By morning the brain goo bag was mighty full.

I’m not sure why it took so long but they brought in a Gamecube for him to play. This was a HUGE boost for him. He doesn’t want to talk much, but he seems fairly nervous.

The rest of the day mostly consisted of waiting around to hear from the doctor, which didn’t happen until late in the evening. So here’s the latest:

The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, starting at 11am and ending between 6pm and midnight. There are several possible complications, but the doctor is still optimistic. We’ll be getting hourly updates on the progress and the doctor will follow up after words, first with Brittany and I alone, then with the whole family.

As always twitter.

I took a photo of the tube in Andrew’s head, I didn’t want to post it but you can see it here. (fixed link)
