Hi everyone,
Wonderful news! Dad has done very well with his surgery. We got a call from the head surgeon at about 4:30 p.m. our time (it's 5:40 p.m. now) and they said they were closing and warming his body back up and that everything had gone very well. The blood flow to the affected area of his brain has already increased 10x and will only continue to get better. They predicted that it would be another hour to finish up, but he was was wheeled out to ICU at about 5:15 p.m. We got to see him for just a minute and he looked pretty good, all things considered. He was coming out of anesthesia and no longer had a breathing tube. They asked for about 45 minutes to get him settled in, etc. and then we will be granted a short visit - so in about 15 minutes we will get to see him. The attending anesthesiologist, who is just the sweetest man I have ever met, stopped by and talked to us for a few minutes and said that it went wonderfully. So great to hear!
I will try to post more later.
Love,
Rocketgirl
