Preparing for Surgery now....

Lots of information from last night to today. Learned last night that more than likely Mick will always have a breathing tube. Todays the day of surgery and also learned that feeding tubes and so many other means of survival are very possible of his outcome. The Dr. said that normally he does not take this high risk of a case but Mick's symptoms would increase and death would be a for sure thing. This procedure is to try to relieve pressure but the symptoms and the outcome unless there is a miracle (my words) is not a positive one. The Dr. wants a couple of days after surgery to see how he does and then more plans will taken. They will keep us posted every 2 hrs. and surgery will be 10-12 hrs. estimation.Pray for no suffering. God has a plan and as hard as it is I know that is what we have to accept. We want him to come out of this and be the Mick that we've missed so much but we do not want him to suffer.
