Home!

Superman has made his arrival home! Brain surgery, 2 days in the hospital post-op, no pain meds and moving around as if nothing ever happened - the doctors are amazed! His blood sugars are a little high as a result of the steroids he is taking, so we are limiting his ski and french-fry intake for now (and you know dad, I'm sure this is probably worse for him than the surgery!) He is trying hard to eat "balanced" and being a good sport about it. Other than the blood sugar levels, everything else is going well!


We are supposed to find out the tumor pathology results 6 days or so after the surgery date, but Dad's next appointment with the Neurosurgeon isn't until next Friday (the 28th) so there is a chance we will not find out until then.


I will keep you all posted, but in the meantime thank you again for EVERYTHING! We are planning to enjoy the weekend and are looking forward to a more "normal" routine next week.

Home and doing well

  15. Glad to hear you are doing great. I will drink a few skis for you since you are limited in your amount. The blog updates are great. When someone asks how you are doing I can hand them my phone and they can read it.
