big day tomorrow or today whatever thursday becomes. spencer is meeting with the surgeon who took (without permission) his "bone flap" out. it may have been without spencer's permission but his mom and dad said yes and it may have saved his life. the bone flap is the part of the skull that was cut out so his brain could swell in a left to right direction as opposed to front to back. they knew after the 1st surgery the brain would swell, it was a matter of how much. anyway spence has obsessed over that bone flap since he could communicate with us: where is it? is it in a jar? can i see it? the surgeon told him it was in a museum but we always joked that it was on his fireplace mantle. we have been told "unofficially" that when the flap is returned the recovery may speed up a little bit. fingers crossed,prayers,positive thoughts,whatever you've been doing keep it going.
