spence saw his surgeon today,the one who put humpty dumpty back together again. he did not get the bone flap picture but was promised it would be emailed to him. he visited his grandfather while at MGH and passed on his lucky beads. his grandfather has his big surgery tomorrow and i think seeing how well and how far spence has come is a big comfort to him.

by the way the THS senior class and faculty ROCKS!! There are many facets to any major medical crisis. from the doctors stand point every thing is internal,whats his heart rate?,whats his cholesterol level etc,etc. then the external,how do we get this leg moving?,how do we get the arm to move,etc,etc. the one they overlook is the emotional, i have no doubt one of the biggest reasons for spencer's strength in his recovery is the support of his friends. at tonights award night the ovation he got was incredible. it showed him the whole senior class and taunton community were behind him. he was touched and no doubt will keep working hard.
