Good day in the city today. Michael, Uncle Jim & I met w/ Dr. Stieg and his staff who were professional as usual. Dr. Stieg took his time going through how the surgery would go and answered all our questions with confidence, which was very reassuring. Dr. Stieg was satisfied with the new MRI and he does not anticipate anything unusual with the surgery. Once again, he was honest with us while remaining positive that Michael was going to get through this.
Mikey then had some pre-op testing done and it was back to the train, home to BPT.
Mom, Dad, Michael & I are heading into the city on Tuesday and can be reached via e-mail or T.J.'s cell phone if need be. We plan on keeping it low key and having a nice dinner together. Mom will be limited to (1) vodka & tonic (just kidding Mom, we'll let you have 2) & the boys may have a "glass of the grapes", as Joe Whyte says!
We'll keep the blog updated! THANK YOU for your continued support, cards, e-mails, calls, food, everything - you've all been so great for us! Please keep your prayers and thoughts coming our way!

Hello Michael and Family!
This is from Dana Burnell--I met Michael several times in London, and am Barbara Elliott's cousin. Just wanted you to know that I hope you have a fantastic night in NYC tonight, and that my thoughts will be with you tomorrow.
Michael better behave and get plenty of sleep. . .Barbara is trolling for a nice MBA girl for him, and I recently met one at the Columbia Business School. Just get past this bump in the road, and the universe will shower you with business-savvy blondes!
All the best,
Dana
