Quiet day with conflicting reports from the docs (which is totally normal by the way)…. so I will let you know when the reports are all the same. They are considering two different directions. The ICU doc and the neurology are in two different camps……..though while I am away from the hospital the tribes meet and things come together. So on Friday Todd could be going into surgery or he could be on the second day of a 5 more days induced coma……. I see them making moves toward the first. ONLY TIME WILL TELL. There are still a few more tests results that need to come in before they finalize their decision. Ruling out infections and all that jazz.
It will be nice to have Eric here, someone to keep me company in the silence. A new person that has no problem rattling on and on, it will be a couple days before he tires I am sure! We will have a lot to talk about…… Todd’s mother arrives on Monday as does Selby. Todd is going to have a room full of love and kick ass woman & one lovely guy. Three girls and a guy! Guess which one is going to be talking about diapers, poop, or the lack there of! Wink.
The apartment thing is moving forward nicely, should be resolved by fri or sat.
Take care.
T&A
p.s Update: Eric has landed at Heathrow and should be here in the Netherlands soon. He is anxious to see Todd will still don’t know what the day will bring. I await a phone call from the doctors.

Alex, I don’t think we know each other. I am a student of Todd’s and I believe that I will be in the vicinity during winter break. If ok, I would really like to see him/meet you. As it looks, I am flying into Frankfurt to see my family for Christmas and then my bf and I would like to come to Amsterdam for a short visit on our way back to Stockholm.
Many many wishes and prayers for you

Hang in there sweet pea! I know the waiting is excruciating but from everything you’ve told us you’ve got a great team of docs and nurses who care deeply about Todd’s well-being and recovery. And a whole new wave of support on the way–yahoo! It’s like fresh horses at the stage-coach stop, ready to power you through across the mountains and down to the sea.
I’ll be thinking about you this weekend (as I do every day) while Henry and I sing the coffee song in the woods as the bacon cooks.
love and more love,

As I’ve faced battles of my own, in these past few weeks, I know, as Todd has, that, I too, will prevail over time. His strength is an inspiration. It’s pretty difficult to fall into self absorbed depression when others are facing… Remember to celebrate each small moment, amounting in giant blessings.

Hi Alex,
Thinking of you two… wondering if surgery happened.
Everything is pulling together for a wonderfully fabulous blue and green ball, tomorrow night. I know there will be lots of pictures. The community, your friends/family are very supportive in bringing good thoughts warm hearts and helping hands. Its truly beautiful.

last summer as the san jose SRL show began, the “Big Walker” was malfunctioning until Eric(intel inside)Pulos, was able to jump in, power-down and restart it. It went on to give a stellar performance. You’ve got some good re-boot mojo coming your way for this step in your recovery.
