    Ahh, thanks you Larena, seeing this brings warm fellings to my heart.

    Medford, Im going to be gone for at most (crosses fingers) 2 weeks. I have my surgery on Thursday. It took my stepdad about 5 days until he left the hospital when he had his heart surgery, but that was also in Salem, so I might not beable to ride back until acouple days after I leave the hospital. But I want to, So if I leave right away I should be back by the thursday after this coming thursday.


    I will try to update you guys if I ever get a chance. I hope that they have computers that I can use that they can bring inot my room. uUnfortunately for them, they will have to be prepared for me using it all day :D

    Well see you all later, have fun doing whatever it is you do. I will talk to you all later.

    Ok everyone, here's the sitch(this is from Atticus):


    I have done 2 tests allready today and about 12:00 we have to have a consultation with the doctor. That should last about 2 hours and then Im off to LA to vivit the school tomorrow. We should get to LA around 9 or 10 tonight I think. Then tomorrow is the tour of the school and then after that I might go shopping. After that we are coming back and then Im going to have dinner with the stepfamily. Then on Wensday I come in and have about a bazillion hours of tests(more like 5) then I go to the hotel and get ready for thursday. Then on thursday I need to get to the hospital by 5:30 in the morning and then I don't know when the surgery is. But like i said in the other PM my mom will PM you and let you know how I am.

    Here's what Atticus has been up to lately folks:


    Not really been doing much, just sleeping in the back of the car while my parents drive me everywhere for about 6-7 hours a day. We went to LA yesterday after I had the tests and then we left around 2:30 today. They had a hard time finding our way back to stanford, we didn't get back until about 9ish and then it took about an hour and a hlaf to find a hotel.

    I took a tour of LA film school and it was pretty impressive. Then I found this one costume store that had a life size Yoda i the window. So I went in and theyhad a Chewbacca costume for about $800. I did find an airsoft gun for $15 thats what they used for Han Solo's blaster, so Im going to convert that.

    Well, tomorrow I need to get up at 7 and then to the hospital at 9 for 5 hours of tests . After that Im spending the day with my dad and stepfamily. Then its off to bed for a 5:30 am check in to the hospital and a 7 am surgery. The doc said it should take about 6-7 hours to do. Then its a couple days of ICU and then aocuple more days until I can leave the hospital, then they want me to wait another week so they can make sure that im fine to leave. So I should be back home around the 1st I think.

    Hey guys I bring good news about Chris! This is what his family had to say:


    Chris came through surgery really well. He doesn't think so right now because he is hurting but the doctor said he did great. He should be better than new. The doctor also fixed a couple of small holes that he found after he got inside that should of closed when chris was little but for some reason did not. So everything should be fixed and he should be better than ever. He is in alot of pain right now as you can imagine but it will get better every day. We know this because Jim just had heart surgery about 8 weeks ago and he is fine now. Will give you more updates as we get them and we are trying to get online service in our room so when we get Chris back to the hotel you can bet you will be hearing from him. I'll be intouch again later in the day. Kimmie

    Things are moving along quite nicely, it wont be long before we do hear from him:

    We saw Chris this morning and he was doing great. He was sitting up in a chair and blowing on the little respirator thing they give him to help expand his lung capacity again. Don't know the official word for it. He even smiled afew times so that is good too. The doctor came in and said he was doing great and gave him some pointers on using the breathing thing. Actually he told him a secret on how to cheat alittle. The result will be what the nurses want but it will be easier for Chris to achieve it. They are planning on trying to take all the tubes out of him today and move him out of the ICU. That will be great because then the visiting hours are not so restricted. We are still trying to get the laptop up and running, that is why I didn't get a report to you last night. Will let you know more as soon as we know anything. Thank you for your prayers and your support of Chris. Kimmie

    Well, here is some more:



    Not much new to report tonight. Chris says hi and wishes he could talk. We finally figured out how to get the lap top to work so you will be hearing from Chris as soon as he gets back to the hotel. He sat up twice today but tomarrow they want him to get up and walk around. He needs to do that so they can move him out of ICU. Will talk to you tomarrow.

    it's just as I thought, I sensed it through the force somehow:


    Chris had a bad day yesterday. He wouldn't eat at all. He said his throat felt like there was something stuck in it. Anyway he got behind in his recovery because he got so weak from not eating and then he couldn't get up and do his walks. Today was much better. He ate some of his lunch and dinner and was able to get up and walk around the halls three different times. His goal is to walk 4 times without being dizzy and eat his food. He doesn't like the food much. It is pretty bland, not much flavor or seasoning on it. He wants to get out so he can get a pizza. The doctor said they are aiming for a Wednesday release. I'm sure he will do better tomorrow. Sorry I didn't give you a report yesterday, I was alittle upset since he wasn't doing that great. I'm sure we will have nothing but good things happen from this point on. Will talk to you tomorrow.
    Kimmie



    So it's a good thing he's in the clear now.

    This may be the last update that isn't from Chris!



    Was sorry to heart about your ordeal with the poison oak. We know how bad that caan be3. Jim gets it really easy. He can just breath in smoke from someone burning a tree and he breaks out all over. I hope you have the burning under control and we will pray that there is no lasting side affects to your skin. Chris did great yesterday. He ate food and got up and walked about 6 times. Two times he walked up and down three flights of stairs. I had a hard time doing that yesterday. We are hoping to get him out early today. The doctor has to see his results from his tests yesterday first to make sure eveerything is ok. Hopefully Chris will be talking to you later today. Take care. Kimmie



    (I have poison oak, and a 3rd degree burn. I told them about it. Just incase your confused.)

    Its time to turn those frowns upside down, Im Back!!! :)

    Well Kind of, Im out of the hospital, thank GOD (bunch of savages those nurses are ;)) But I'm at a hotle until this weekend most likely.

    Yeah, the good thing was that I had a GREAT doctor, the bad news is that the nurses were about as organized as a group of Gungan's led by Jar-Jar after the shield generator is destroyed ;).

    Well I just got done taking a shower, that felt so good. Now I'm just waiting for my parents to get my meds from Walgreens and then we are going to get PIZZA!!! YEA!!! YAY!!! YEEHAW!!! YIPPEE!!! =P~[face_dancing].

    I can't wait, the hopital food was horrible ofcourse, and they promised and my parents promised me they would get me some pizza once I get out.

    Not doing much, Playing with my Han Solo Blaster, watching Judge Judy and Im just checking the net to see what I missed. Im actually suprised to see how busy this place has been.

    I'll talk to you all later.
