Dear friends,
Sorry this update has taken so long but we didn't really know much before. The neurosurgeons at Royal Children's Hospital have decided that medication is not going to stop the seizures and as Jay is losing short term memory skills and cognitive abilities he will need the surgery.
The surgery is scheduled for the 13th July 2004 and after this there will be critical period of forty eight hours. If he survives this and wakes up during that time there is a good chance he will come out of the surgery with no side effects or loss of brain function. Please pray for Jay and us on the week up to and during the surgery. The surgery takes about seven hours all up and Jay is due to go to theatre at 2pm. and they expect him out about nine. If you have any queries or comments please feel free to email me on kethry@labyrinth.net.au
Thanks for all your love, good wishes and support.

Cheers
Lynne

My dad had two separate brain surgeries, and I remember the toll they took on our family... You have my thoughts, and prayers for as long as you want them.

If I could take all the pain and worries
And make them disappear -
If I could fill your mind with joy and hope
You know I would, my dear.
Though I can only be a faraway friend
Believe me, I will pray.
May God give strength in abundance
For you, April and Jay.

Big hugs, my friend... the vigil is on.

I will hold the thought that July 14th will mark the beginning of healthy, happy times for Jay, you and the rest of your family.

I'll bookmark that day and will cross my fingers all day for little Jay.

If he has gotten anything from you Keth, than he's a fighter.
You'll be in my thoughts as will be April and Jay.

I join in prayer for Jay. May the surgery be a full success and may he recover perfectly. I trust in Divine assistance.
My love to you, Margherita
