Dear ones, if you want the whole story scroll back to the origin post about Dad, “Cultivate Healing” then read through the updates. This will give you the whole story.
Dad had a 2nd surgery today. The early morning scan showed no change and a physical assessment was not as good as Saturday following the initial surgery relieving the pressure. Dad said, “Everything will be fine,” and was making punny jokes with the nurses before they took him to the OR. The surgeon did end up doing then craniotomy (go big or go home) and feels he got most of ‘the massive blot clot.’ He did everything he could to mitigate the risks he took a long time to: clean the area (no infection), dry (no bleeding) and he also gave Dad an extra boost of anti seizure medicine. The next 24 hours are critical and how he wakes up. Mom is hoping to get to see him post-op around 3pm. I will update this post (#4) after we get more post operation information.
We are still optimistic. Aunt Donna and Uncle Al are with Mom and this is also good. Prayers are appreciated.
Update: 3 hours post op, Dad is aware and says he feels like he was “hit by a truck.” Despite a big headache he is aware. This is a big deal. All the nurses and Doctors are happy with Dad. Now we wait for more test results and eventually seeing if he can mobilize.
