He just went into the OR

So it is just gone 11am and Toren has gone in for his first surgery. We met with all the doctors and nurses. What a wonderful team. We are very fortunate and blessed. Toren has been so positive and upbeat, while owning his angst.

The first surgery is more exciting than we had expected. The medical team has been able to ascertain without doubt, one area of the brain where the seizures originate and they will be removing that today, as well as placing depth electrodes, and a grid. The secondary areas of concern will then be more clearly observed and appropriate actions considered for the second surgery. Please keep Toren, Dr. Doyle and his whole team in your prayers... surgery will be about 8 hours, or maybe longer. Thank you for all your reaching out to keep us strong.
