Recovery

Good news! Well, I still haven't seen Cliff. He is still in recovery. Wait...that's not the good news. The good news is that he's doing so well that they are putting him in a regular room and not the ICU. The neuro resident said he woke up well and was responding to commands. Anxious to see him.

Success!

Just received a call from Dr. Sills and the procedure went well. They were able to poke the hole AND biopsy the mass which is what we were hoping for. He will be moved to recovery and eventually the Neuro ICU. We are waiting to hear when we can see him. Pray that he isn't sick from anesthesia. More soon!

And we are still waiting

Still waiting. Estimated time he will be out of surgery is 2:48.

Just took Cliff back

They just took Cliff back to surgery. Dr. Sills came in and as he left the room yelled, "Go to hell Ole Miss." It will be at least an hour or two before we know anything. Cliff will go to ICU most likely (if there's room) after surgery. We do know it will be Wednesday or Thursday of next week before we know anything about the biopsy if they are able to get it. More to come.

Still Waiting...

They have taken Cliff back to prep for surgery...but we can't be back there right now.

Maroon Friday at Vandy

Cliff is in his MAROON Friday gear this morning at Vandy. Waiting for them to take Cliff back for pre-op. We'll keep you updated!

Pre Op

Today we are at Vanderbilt for Cliff's pre-op appointments. He is getting new scans...a "stealth" MRI...those will be the images that the doctors use to access the third ventricle and biopsy the mass Friday. Cliff has a cold...specifically a sore throat. Please pray that he feels better. If he's not well, they will not operate and the procedure will be pushed. That's just more time for us to have to think and wait. So pray for a speedy recovery and procedure on Friday.
