The surgeon was very pleased with Jim's progress and had no hesitation in setting the date for his Crainiotomy for November 19th. Before this surgery he has to have another CT scan and more blood work to ensure everything is within range.
This surgery should take approximately two hours and his stay in ICU will be two days. They will be re-opening the original cut and replacing the skull and stapling the cut back. They will leave the staples in for three weeks since its an area that has already been opened. He will no longer have to wear his helmet and will be able to do those things we all take for granted such as: coughing, sneezing, blowing his nose.
We appreciate all the prayers and look forward to the 19th!!
