And he's off!

Dad is in surgery now! 
He was in tremendous pain going in and we all look forward to a new kind of pain (the pain of recovery) on the other side of this.
Our expectations for today are that we'll have an update from the surgeons by noon today when they finish up the frontal surgery and before they begin the back surgery. Then we'll expect the post-surgery update by 5:00pm.
We all really enjoyed the anesthesiologists - they both have very present, empathic countenances.
Mom is enjoying prayer blankets along with all the sweet messages we've all received this morning.
Go Dad!
