BRAIN SURGERY --- Part I

What a momentous day for us --- Ken is resting soundly after successful Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery ...... next time you see him, you'll notice some new bumps and significant scars on his head, but hopefully, you'll also notice a huge improvement in his Parkinson's symptoms!! (That will come gradually, as Ken returns to Stanford once a month for programming, starting in December)

Ken & I were blessed to have our daughters, one of our sons-in-law, our grandson, and Ken's sister, Robin, join us for the last couple days here... It was so good for us to be together as a family during this intense time. (son-in-law #2 and the rest of our famliy were with us in spirit --- boy, were the text messages flying!!) They all travel home tomorrow, after Ken is released to go home -- probably around noon.

Thank you all for your well-wishes and especially your prayers on our behalf.... we know that's what makes the difference in our ability to handle, with grace, each situation that came our way these 4 days @ Stanford.

We are so VERY thankful for you and your on-going love & concern for us.

May you have a Wonderful, Blessed week-end....

Next Wednesday --- Ken has his Internal Pulse Generator implanted!

Keep us in your prayers --- these next two weeks will be a time of healing.

We'll keep you posted!

Ken & Beckie
