You will definitely be in my thoughts & prayers TOMORROW! 

Prayers for PEACE to you & yours starting NOW!!

Apparently it's about quarter to 10 in the morning in Boston, I'm guessing that means Bob is rocking it as I type this!  I'm sending some rocking vibes his way through the ether.... WHOOOSH there they go!

Hello All,
 Bob is currently in the OR and they have made the first incision at 9:20a.m. est. We will be getting updates from the OR nurse about every two hours with his status. T-minus 8hours and counting, until Norbit (aka Bob's tumor) is gone!! I'm here with our girls (Jacq and Nic) for the long haul. So I will try to post the updates accordingly. Thanks for all the support,
 Sue
