Daily update from Mike. March 3,2013

My nightly update .... Too exhausted last night do it ... so it is today's update!

They warned us, prepared us and explained to us that Greg would have some setbacks and yesterday we experienced our first emotionally challenging one. We had been hoping for the trend to continue in the right direction, however, the angiogram indicated not only the presence of more severe vasospasms, but some concerning changes to " the blip" which is potentially indicative of an unsecured aneurysm.  We absorbed the news, processed the information, hugged each other, and then after an unscheduled consult with Dr. Du, recommitted ourselves positively to the situation. This guy has an amazing  support team around him. Despite the fears, recognition of challenges ahead, and just plain missing her "man,"  Jill has been so strong.  I know having Adam, Sara and Natalie here for support today was helpful.  Donna did a great job of keeping us focused and upright. Make no mistake about it, I may be the one holding the steadfast vigil with Greg, but she is the emotional rock for many of us.

At 5:00 am Greg had a CT scan and is scheduled for another angiogram later this morning. We know we will turn this thing around.

Two other updates; John is continuing to fall behind in his ProV1 challenge.  He is six sleeves behind.  We will cut him some slack due to yesterday's events. I am so pleased that Fenway and Jason really seem to be bonding.  When we get through this it may be difficult to separate those two.

Being here on weekends is so different than mid-week.  Much quieter and less hectic. It is a rather nice change.

There are a lot of prayers being said today I know.  They are so appreciated, keep them coming.


We are looking forward to good results today.

Mike
