Michael will be the first case tomorrow morning, checking in at 6:30 AM. He has been reading all of the Sesame Street and Mister Roger's hospital books and knows that after he arrives, he'll get his new pajamas and, as he's so accustom to, have his temperature and blood pressure taken. He already did a tour of the hospital last week when he got to see the rooms and try out the cherry anesthesia mask. Meg and Tom will be able to be with him as the anesthesia works and then the surgery will last about five hours. This procedure, which will increase the amount of oxygenated blood, will give Michael even more energy to rock!
In the past three and a half years, Meg and Tom have been buoyed and encouraged by the people around them - sending love and prayers to their little Mick. Michael, in his bravery, energy, and amazing spirit of kindness, has reminded us all of how precious life is. We thank you for all of the continued support as Michael goes in to get his new "Superman" heart.
We will keep you updated here on the site. Please feel free to post comments. During the surgery and time in the hospital, they raise spirits and remind Meg and Tom of the amazing network that surrounds them.
Rock on, sweet Michael. The world is rooting for you.

Michael left the apartment this morning dancing to the "Eye of the Tiger" as he swung from his Mom and Dad's arms. He certainly knows of all the love that surrounds him.
Thank you all.
