Day 20 update

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Well, Bob had surgery today to replace his bone flap. The surgery went well and the surgeon said that he was pleased with what he saw in his brain. He is back in ICU for probably 24 hours, and they are not moving him to Promise tomorrow. They want to make sure he is ready and that he is stable and ok for another ambulance ride! He was alert this morning before the surgery but he is resting now and probably quite worn out from yet another brain surgery. He has a new "hat" and they also removed the staples from the back of his head. That was the injury that occurred when he hit the road. Time is what the surgeon said we need now, to see what he has lost and what he can do. Bob's injury was on the frontal lobe and that is the part of the brain that affects our speech and language. We are praying that he will do well and that he didn't lose much if anything, right?!?! Thanks for your love and support - please don't forget to pray for him!
