**TARA**

Having a family potluck today at my parents house. Busted out the photo box. Mama and Dad ar headed to Houston Monday morning at 0'Dark Thirty. This will be the surgical consult. We will hopefully get a firm surgery plan and DATE!!!! Earliest surgery date is looking like Monday the 21st of October. I showed Mama how to do the updates on the site, so she will be able to log in and keep everyone posted. We are trying post up top on the update who is posting. I also convinced them to do video updates (...maybe) throughout the trip.

On a different note, THANK YOU!!! Thank you for your donations, your sharing, your comments, positive thoughts and your prayers. I cannot even form words. The difference this has made in the level of viable hope is almost palpable. My father is just floored by the outpouring of support. His exact words were, "I didn't even think most people LIKED me!" LOL!

Thank you. Thank you everyone!!!
