Quick Update

Justin and I received an email from Dr. Gupta tonight.  The consensus of the doctors is that he does need surgery.  They are still talking to a possible surgeon who can do the surgery.   Dr. Gupta is staying in contact with them to find the next step for us.  The surgeon they are talking to right now is in Boston, but again no final details have been made.

As we come to this information, it is a reality check all over again.  The reality of surgery and the scary parts of that. Having been through this once, we know more than we did last time, which could be good OR bad.  Anyway, I was thinking about the analogy, “going through the storm”.  Growing up I was terrified of storms to the point of physically being sick if there was a thunderstorm or tornado warning.  (I was like this until I moved to college and had to face the issue!)  You watch the tv warnings and take precautions, and you wait until the storm passes.  But the best part of the storm is of course the end, but usually because it is so calming.  It usually ends with the light rain.  Rain is so calming.  And even though the rain is part of the storm, it is refreshing and beautiful at the same time.  Unfortunately we are still just watching the warnings come in, but before we know it we will be enjoying the rain.
