Great news

We are very happy to report that our son's surgery went well. The tumor was successfully removed and Sandy was bright and alert this morning.  He expects to be home tomorrow.  Thank you all for your prayers and best wishes.  I think I will need to sleep for a week to get my brain unfogged, but it is indeed a happy fog!

Jim and I joined my brother in law Nick in his Parkinsons' Superwalk today in Ottawa.  Pictured above is Nick and some of the other super heroes!!  Nick raised nearly five thousand dollars for Parkinsons...way to go Nick!  It was a really fun day.  I accompanied Nick on the five kilometer walk on my Scooter....it was great fun!

Update on son

Sandy visited his neurosurgeon again yesterday, and received confirmation of his brain surgery for September 26th.  Our other four sons will be here to give Sandy their support.  Sandy, of course, is very positive, and when asked if he would consent to donating his tumor for science, immediately agreed, "as he won't be needing it anymore!".  The five boys are planning on having their annual golf game on the 24th.  We sure do have five great boys!!!
