UPDATED Surgery Update

My Dad is out of surgery and in the high intensity ICU. We haven't been able to talk to a doctor yet. My Dad is already talking and joking around! Hallelujah! We will update again once we have more information. 

Thank you again for your prayers - we have felt so at peace today.  Please continue to pray while we await results and for the recovery ahead.

UPDATE

My Dad spoke with the Intensive Care doctor this evening and based on the surgery notes, the neurosurgeons were pleased with how the surgery went. He also indicated that we won't have pathology results for a couple of weeks (not the speedy results we were hoping for - but we will work on our patience). This is actually a total blessing: it gives us time to concentrate on recovery without thinking every day if today will be the day that the results come.

We still have not had a chance to talk to the neurosurgeon but hope to do so tomorrow between his surgeries. Apparently he is awesome with checking in on his patients so we await that conversation and will update you if there is any other news (he just had four surgeries today so that's why we didn't hear from him). 

Tonight we leave you with a bouquet of flowers and zero weeds because, to be honest, we can't complain today. From my Dad: 

Flower: A visit from Kase - who is always SO happy and such a hope for all of us! 

Flower: Hearing that a daughter's close friend had a baby. 

Flower: Out of all the people here in the ICU, he is the most blessed one. 

Flower: When the surgeons were doing brain surgery, they actually found a brain (Thanks to his sister Gayle for that idea)!
