doctor update

COMING HOME TOMORROW!

Today he was working with PT and will continue after he gets home. But by the time I left to take care of Iverson he was walking on his own and joking around about everything. I left right when they were wheeling him down to an MRI.

The MRI looked good. Since they couldn’t take out the whole tumor without cutting into that main blood vessel they showed how small his Neurosurgeon was able to get it which looks like it was 2.1cm X 0.9 cm. Beyond that, everything looks on track for a person who had surgery 24 hours ago.

He’s doing so good that he gets to come home tomorrow

Update, after talks with the Dr

Chris did well, no transfusion no issues.

Tumor was growing in the membrane and connected to the bone and to the main blood vessel on top of the head. It had been there so long that it was growing its own vessels.

They took out the bone and removed the tumor as much as possible without issues with the main blood vessel.

They sent the tumor to pathology, installed a titanium plate with a cementish coverage, to meld with the bone. He’s still in recovery from the anesthesia.

He will be getting another MRI tomorrow to show how it’s healing.
