one surgery down....

today Niklas had his first of two surgeries and it went well. There was a team of 10 in the operating room at least and he was so brave. We saw all of the doctors and assistants in the hallway when we said goodbye to Niklas before surgery and it was kind of surreal. I felt like we were on an episode of ER. He was in surgery for 6 hours. I took pictures of him after his procedure, unfortuately I forgot my plug to download them so I will do it tomorrow. He is doing ok.....his head is wrapped up and he looks like a mummy. His face and eyes are swollen and we are told it will be like that for a couple of days. he is resting now and he has actually had a few seizures in the last few hours because he did not get his usual meds. They have given him some medication to settle him down and make him comfortable. The doctors are going to monitor him for the next five days to make certain of the problem area before they go back in next week to remove the lesion. Brent and I are doing ok its gonna be a long two weeks......but its nothing compared to the two years he has been dealing with this.
