Today is VNS placement day at Duke. We are to arrive at 11am and the surgery is scheduled at 1pm. Beth had to get up at 430-5am to give Gage his last tube feeding, and then we can give him some Pedialyte at 830 or so on the way up.  ML, Beth and I will be talking to Gage all the way to Duke so that he can spend the night with us at the hotel instead of in a hospital room.  If he is in the hospital room, then guess what Aunt Kim sleeps in a chair patting his little bottom all night or rubbing his head because he likes that......I do not think I will mention that to him because we want him to come to the motel room.  The surgery is to take about 1 1/2 hours total with recovery and then we will know.  If we are allowed to go to the motel then they will let us know if we can go home on Tues;But first,,,,lets get thru today.  And now I have to go before I start crying AGAIN,,,,Pray
