It is the big day. It is still dark outside, but the nurses are busy with Stu. He is getting lose lovely white stockings on his legs, and the OR crew will be in his room to take him to the OR holding area in a few minutes. Stu didn't sleep much last night, since the nurses were checking on him frequently. He isn't quite as chipper this morning as he was last night (neither am I).
Surgery will start at 7:30 am, and is expected to take anywhere from 8-10 hours. I will keep frequent posts throughout the day. Please keep Stu (and the neurosurgeon, Mark Lyons) in your prayers.

Thanks Deb for keeping us posted as we have all been thinking of you there! So glad to hear that Stu is beginning the recovery process. I'll be sending an old Iowa cure inspired by the State Fair that I know he loves (corndogs, porkchops-on-a-stick and deepfried twinkies). That should help him regenerate the cuddling genes you were referring to. Please get us a mailing address there at Mayo. I can't wait to see the looks on the staff when you ask for some extra napkins and mustard.
