An Update on Jim - Good News to Share

When Dr. Sani arrived in the waiting area he looked very happy. Happy for sure since they were able to get the rest of the tumor and Jim woke up in good spirits. A very different face from surgery #1.

When we arrived at the ICU Jim was talking and very excited. Wow what a difference from surgery #1! We were expecting a possible set back with his left side but it appears that if there is any it is minimal. He still has a blind spot in his left peripheral area but the Dr believes it will come back. He has some tingling in his right calf that they think is from his positioning during surgery so they will watch that tonight.

After a few teaspoons of ice chips he decided it was time for a real meal. He ate all the green beans and ravioli he ordered. Thankfully he is not experiencing the extreme nausea he had after surgery #1.

Jim will be in ICU for the night and will need to stay in bed for 24 hours. We'll keep you posted on his progress.
