Just wanted to let everyone know that we are here in Durham and everything is going as planned. Yesterday dad did a lot of pre-op stuff, meeting with the anesthiologist, some kinda special MRI, etc. Today they embolized the tumor, which means that they put some type of microscopic particals in the veins that feed the tumor so that the tumor will stop getting any blood supply and begin to die tonight. They still haven't told us what time they will start the surgery tomorrow. That seems to me the million dollar question :b.
Dad has been admitted into the hospital and will spend one night in the room he is in now. After the surgery he will be put in the ICU and probably remain pretty heavily sedated until Friday morning. He is in good spirits despite a really bad headache, which the docs said to expect after the embolization.
Thats about all for now. Please keep the thoughts and prayers coming. We appreciate you all!
