Today when I saw my beautiful Stu laying still, strong and surprisingly not swollen I could feel a miracle in front of me.  He did something today that was so beyond anything I can comprehend.
Can you imagine?  Someone opens up your skull and puts sensors on you and tells you to read, listen and repeat and recognize information... I'm sorry, what?  You can't be serious?  Stu didn't flinch at the tests or the procedure. Both arms with iv's, more hair shaved that they really discussed, more blood draws that we thought would happen.  I keep wondering how I would deal with any of it, if I were in his shoes (ok, really I mean brain, but you get the idea)??
But you know what?  You all, with your imagery and your prayers and your mantras and your positivity made sure we had ourselves a bonafide miracle before us.   Today is a gift and I will absorb it into my soul and ride the high of it as long as I can. Stu fought and today he won!! I cannot explain just how I feel our connection to one another, but early this morning I was feeling scared and I texted our East Coast Cousins, our Dutchies, Uncle Bob to start praying... I could feel it!!!  Then around 6:20am I started to feel the West Coast prayers and support as you woke up, as Stu went to Pre Opp.  We are lifted up by you.  Thank you!!

Did I mention how very happy I am that he is out of that surgery?  He looks so amazing you guys!!    He is so beautiful and strong.
He is in ICU surprising the nurses with his "fight".  He plans to take up residence for a few days in a better room as soon as the ICU team deem it realistic. Tonight they will keep watch over him and I will sleep.  Tomorrow I will wake up early, you know to start praying early with the East Coast Crew, Uncle Bob and the Dutchies...

He will need to face many more MRI's and a biopsy in the near future.  We need you to pray, believe, visualization, Expect A Miracle: That the tumor is gone, that Stu continues to recover with a force unlike anything these doctors have ever seen, that the biopsy reveals a cyst that is totally manageable and non cancerous . Spend your breaks, your coffee sips, your bathroom breaks (hey, I'm not picky about this process!), lunch breaks, walks, runs and evenings over dinner imagining that this thing is nothing more than a benign growth and all is well now in his head.  See him healed completely!
Together we can support this great man, together with us... he will Stu!Fight!Win!!

Thank you for today.
