What do you do the night before brain surgery?
Go to the Outback and eat what ever you want.
This is just before... he's looking at the screen,
I wanted one last picture of his head.
After five painful, grueling hours
we came here.....
This what it looks like the day after
you get a tumor removed...
his head was soooo swollen I was scared...
however it was almost gone
2 days later (Thank goodness).
Spent alot of time with the barf bucket.
He had huge problems with
balance, disorientation, nausea.
Blake thought Chad was having fun....
so he decided to get Intussusception.
Don't know what that is?
Look it up...
Poor kid, Intusseption is very painful.
He spent one night in the hospital but came
home to a strict diet.
Back to Chad...
This is what his head/scar looks like...
still in the hospital 10 days later
2 days after surgery. Stitches come out.
This is 7 weeks post surgery,
the day of CI surgery.
Here's the same smiley kid (with mom & dad)
Here is that kid the same day....
7 weeks after brain surgery he got
Cochlear implant surgery.
I walked into the recovery room and saw
a suit case on the floor. I said "Did some one
leave this behind?" They said "No it's yours".
It was $150K worth of
Cochlear Implant processor and
accessories, etc. (YIKES!)
This is what it looks like 1 day
after Cochlear implant surgery.
They used the same incision site.
Where is the implant? you can't really
see it in this picture.
So more to come as things progress.
Thanks for your prayers and well wishes!
He's on the mend, this will be a
much eaiser recovery.
