Go Team Adam!!!

Go Team Adam...go...go...go!!!

OK, so many parts of the day we looked a little more like this:


It was a busy day today...we met the surgeon who will be performing the deep brain stimulation procedure, listened to various instructions, signed lots of forms, had lab work done, and finally an MRI. This took much of the day, and we were all pretty tired out (both mentally and physically) by the end of all of this. But...everything is good to go for surgery in the morning. Or actually the wee hours of the night, as we will start walking towards the hospital at around 4:45 to check in at 5:00 am! Surgery will actually begin around 7:30 am, and typically runs until early afternoon. I will be live-tweeting during the day, and will also try to post on Facebook periodically. I'll try to follow up tomorrow evening with a blog post--but no guarantees as to quality or quantity!

Following our medical visits, we were delighted to have a wonderful dinner this evening (they fixed us breakfast for dinner!) by probably the most gregarious group of volunteer chefs that we've seen this trip. It was a wonderful meal, and just the perfect end to the day.

Or...almost the end to the day! One more treat this evening as a therapy dog group visited the Ronald McDonald House with three wonderful dogs. Adam loved bonding with the dogs, and it gave us the perfect diversion this evening as we needed something to do rather than watch the clock and think about tomorrow's surgery. Meet a couple of the dogs below:

This is Titan...a loveable dog, and there certainly is plenty of him to love!

And this is Boomer. Boomer loves Adam, or at least the crumbs from dinner that may still cling to his face!

Perfect ending to a long and tiring day! Next stop...neurosurgery!
