They took Jackson back a little later than expected this morning. He just went down to the operating room at 8:45 am. The first incision will again be like last time around 9:30 am. This surgery will last a good 7 hours! Such a long time, but they will keep us posted every hour and I will try to keep everyone updated.
Again, they will go and take out the entire parietal and temporal regions, and then monitor his activity. So we will pray that is all that is needed, but they may have to resect some more. I am so glad they are looking at things conservatively in phases. This surgeon is really meticulous and you can tell just how caring he is about his patients. He really has a good bedside manner for a surgeon, which we are so happy because we were not able to meet him until recently. We always just worked through Dr. Chugani.
They will have to give Jackson a blood transfusion when he gets in. He has lost a lot between the two surgeries and he will lose more when they start.
He was so peaceful this morning. They did not have to give him that much sedation through the night, so it seemed he was feeling better. He did open his eyes for us before he went back.
Thank you all for praying for him during this long surgery and this final road to recovery! We are so grateful!
Love, meghan and tony
