Emergency Surgery

So the Neurosurgeons took him away to remove part of his skull and told us it could take 2 to 4 hours depending on how things went. We held hands and prayed and cried and prayed some more. After 1 1/2 long hours they came back w/ a thumbs up that there had been no bleeding and things had gone well, that they would try to wake him in the morning and we would go from there. So we were hopeful---until we went in to see him and the nurse said worse case scenario he never wakes up and best case scenario he wakes up w/ some deficits, how big or small would have to wait and be seen. I can't even begin to tell you how terrified we were or how heart breaking it was to see him this way, breathing tubes, machines, cut, stapled, shaved (well not completely---but he had a mohawk he would not approve of).
