If we were to use NASA analogies, the last four weeks could be characterized with the phrase...“Houston
Today...with prayers offered, received, & answered we will hopefully find Jeremy one step closer to “Situation resolved”...one step closer to fine.
Jeremy’s evening was fairly uneventful...he fell asleep around 10:00 and slept through until about 2:00 this morning.
When he woke up, we had the opportunity to experience what we hope to be a glimpse of the future...Jeremy was talking!!! His speech was at times very clear and at times kind of like you sound when you first wake up, but he was communicating his thoughts. We talked about the holidays and some childhood memories from Santa to the Easter bunny. It was Jeremy full on and very present.
As the time grew closer for the surgery and more activity filled the room, he started to show a little anxiety and return to being a man of few words. Those precious moments early this morning will be treasured and used as a vision of the days to come.
The radiology/surgical team came in around six to place him on a ventilator and take him to MRI then directly to surgery. The MRI will allow them a very precise picture of the AVM and offer them the best information going into surgery. The surgery will last at least 5-6 hours so keep those positive thoughts and energy going.
Today when you are making polite conversation with people and you hear yourself say “I’m fine...how are you?” take a second to whisper a prayer for Jeremy. Ask for a successful surgery and for the day when he can respond “I’m fine...what’s up with you?”
