This day could have been much worse . . .

The people who care for Travis called us this morning around 9:30 to let us know that he had been taken to the hospital. We immediately jumped in the car to make our way to OKC. By 12:30, they had made the decision to take him to surgery to repair his shunt (call, I'll be glad to give you details).
He came through the surgery just great, has eaten, and settled in for the night. Lynn will stay with him tonight, and then he shall return to Enid to convalesce.
These things, with Travis, are always an emergency. Even at 26, we still go through the same roller-coaster emotions with him that any parent does. God was good this day. Good surgeon, great nurses, staff at his home that got him to the hospital and then stayed around all day. And the friends at the hospital - my, oh my.
This day could have ended a lot worse.
