Saturday Sep 24th - Preparations

Thank you to all who have offered food, play dates for Anemo, and "anything you need!" We are truly appreciative.

Our weekend so far has been about welcoming family to SF and organizing ourselves for the week ahead. Stephen is in pre-op mode having had blood tests and a meeting with an anesthesiologist. He will have an MRI on Monday morning and spend the day meeting with doctors and having other tests. His surgery is scheduled for Tuesday 9/27 at 7:30am at UCSF. We hope to get an update to you as soon after surgery as possible.

As we did last time Stephen had brain surgery (just a little over 2 years ago), we ask that you think of an experience with him, pray, send positive energy, offer silence, play music, read a poem, tell a joke - all in his honor on Tuesday. Knowing that people all around were spending a few moments focusing on Stephen during the time he was in the operating room, was very powerful. 

Stephen feels strong and hopeful. We feel fortunate to have high quality medical care, loving friends and family, and three school communities providing nurturing support.

With love and gratitude, Suzanne
