Scotty's 2nd & 3rd Surgery


Scott was scheduled for his second surgery on Monday October 19th at 11a.m. He was really nervous this time around because, he knows more of what to expect. They have asked that we go in at 7a to check in & have his MRI than from there surgery. Scotty's surgery was 6 hrs long and he did well through his surgery. He didn't seem to be recovering as well though he was sleeping a lot & getting dizzy. Dr. Brockmeyer is concerned from the CT scan it shows that he has 2 pockets of air in his head and needs to place an EDT in to drain his brain. On Thursday morning he came in to tell us that he is actually going to have to do another surgery on Scotty that the CT scan shows there is still more of the tumor. He doesn't want to put it off another 3 months knowing that it is the tumor. So, Saturday Scotty had to have an emergency surgery. Which he did very well with and is making a great recovery. They have come into clamp his EDT so we are just crossing our fingers that they will be able to remove it soon. We are also still waiting to hear back from the MRI they did on Sunday after his 3rd surgery. We are all praying that we get good news from Dr. Brockmeyer.
