We celebrated Johannah's birthday early and then Aunt Laura and I took her to the top of the Empire State Building.
James had to be at the hospital yesterday at 6:30 a.m. Surgery started at around 11:00 a.m. after an MRI that mapped out the brain (the reason for the little circles on his head). The surgery went very well. The surgeons thinks he got about 60-80% out, but won't know for sure until an MRI done today. James woke some just after surgery, but pretty much slept the rest of the night. The next 72 hours are the most important in terms of determining what damage has been done to the hypothalamus and what complications he may have because of it.
We really appreciated all those that called, wrote, or sent a card. If I did not return your call yet, I apologize. It was a hectic day. I will call.

We'll be waiting on pins and needles these next hours -- just as I know you will. He is so brave and smiling before the surgery. What a comfort!! Truly, God is good.
