Mikey's Blogging

So far I had met a boy named taj who had the operation the the day before me. I would say he is the nicest boy ever I am glad I am not the only one having the operation. On Saturday I went to the zoo with dad while mum had a look at the shop called Macy's it was a small zoo but it was worth going to plus it was free! Then we went to pick mum up but I didn't want to wait so we had lunch at McDonalds dad had a whopper cheeseburger and had I had 10 nuggets 2 cheeseburgers and a lemonade then mum turned up their it scared me (like a ghost,) anyway I was going to tell whoever is reading this how I feel well I feel tired sad in pain and sick any way I also have an itchy head it is itching like crazy.

Eve of Op

Hi everyone,

Well it's the eve of Mikey's big operation and I'm sitting here writing this while Shane takes Mikey for his last swim for quite some time.

We visited our doctors today and spoke about what will happen tomorrow and the most important think to Mikey is the fact that he can't have breakfast! He's been eating up big today. Sausage Skillet with chocolate waffles for breakfast, crab and corn creole and a root beer for lunch, ice cream sandwich for afternoon tea with a massive plate of pasta for dinner followed up with a handful of Oreos!!! my skinny little guy actually has a muffin top today!

He's in good spirits and is well aware that tomorrow is the biggest day of his life! He said he'll miss his little ear - I will too.

When we were in Auckland we bought Mikey a Koru this symbolizes strong growth and new beginnings - he wears it as his lucky charm - we thought the meaning was very poignant it also looks kind of like an ear.

Mikey:

"I feel excited, happy, nervous but hopefully the operation will go well. Thank you everyone for helping."

I second that - well put Mikey.

We will keep you all posted tomorrow probably via Facebook it seems to be the easiest thing to get onto - we are in Palo Alto after all (the birth place of Facebook).

Love to all xxxxx
