8 hours into the first surgery

We have moved waiting rooms, now we are waiting outside of the recovery area, Toren is still in surgery. About 1.5 hours ago Dr. Doyle was starting to put the grids onto the second half of his brain. We are all playing Rummikub - I am channelling my angst by getting out fast twice... off we go for a 3rd round. Once the surgery is complete, they will wake him up in the OR and keep him there for a while to check that he is stable before moving him to recovery for 4-6 hours... then we will go to Neuro ICU. This will not be a short day!!
