Bone Flap Update

Spencer had a meeting with Dr. Chen (neurosurgeon) about the CT scan he had last week. Good News!!, the bone flap goes back into his head next Friday, April 11th. He interviewed Dr. Chen for his recovery video. He asked many questions, about his head and the flap, that have been plauging his mind for the past few weeks ( feels like years!). Shot number 100 comes after 8 oclock tonight (yikes!). Spence made a tye dye "lazy lefty" t-shirt with the other "lazy lefties", it's pretty awesome, picture coming soon to a computer screen near you!

Way to go Spence, it's so awesome to hear you'll have your whole skull back soon! And the century mark for shots, eh? Yikes, I don't know if I could handle that, myself - but that's just another reason why you're awesome! You're still an inspiration to us all, man.

I'm glad to here you're finally getting your head together. You can work on your movie but I bought the rights to the Broadway musical. It's going to be called "Spence!" I'm working on the hit song "Bone Flap." "I have a bone flap/And I feel like crap/But I knew I'd beat thia rap/When I flipped the bird to Pap." I think it's going to be a big, big hit.

Spencer,

GREAT NEWS!!! I still start my day off each morning reading your blog. It always makes me smile. The AP kids have finally caught up to you after an entire term. So yes you got an A for third term, even though you weren't here. You were so far a head of them in programs it took this long for everyone to finally catch up. The last term all they are doing is working on the final project. I think I left it for you with the school stuff. If you're bored and want a challenge start programming. Let me know and we can email ideas back and forth. GOOD LUCK next week. I'll be praying for you.
Lots of Love,
Mrs. Chaves

Hey Spencer,
It was so great to talk to you last night, even Drew was happy to hear from you. I think the bone flap is in some smoking, glowing jar that is really cool like in a Austin Powers movie. Don't worry about the levonox shots at home I agree we should leave it to trained professionals(ie Aunts and friends that are nurses) not shaky hands dad(sorry brother)Well I hope you have a good weekend Courtney has SAT course at 8am sat not all the cousins got the NUttall Brains(lol)!!and drew and ally will be busy w practice and driving me crazy.
Love you buddy!!!!!
