My son Nico will be undergoing ear surgery tomorrow.

As things stand, I’ll likely be at the hospital for most, if not all of tomorrow (and the following night).

I have a Players Handbook 2 preview planned for tomorrow but there’s good chances I won’t be there to respond to comments until late Friday night (or Saturday).

I thank you all in advance for your good wishes, prayers and positive thoughts.

    My best wishes to your son and your family. I know the crushing weight of being a concerned parent and you have my sympathy, but I am sure everything will be fine.
