Hey Guys!
Sitting here in the Pennsy lounge waiting on boy wonder who is currently unavailable…
He’s neck deep in the Gamma Knife Chamber having the fruit loops zapped out of him. (Granted I’m punchy from lack of sleep…but we did refer to the MRI as a test to see if Dad had any fruit loops on his brian…Sophia prefers the term lint balls…)
Funny where life takes you- just about 10 years ago we entered the same doors on 8th street to bring our GLove into this world! Midwives Birthing Suites are just above the Gamma Center…
All kidding aside, the procedure is going well. Just got an update from the nurses….they are so good here!
Dean has a lightweight metal frame attached to his cranium (just temporary!) That will allow the doctors to keep him from moving while being treated…yes, I did take photos….
The procedure will take a few hours…and then he will be in recovery for a bit. Immediate side affects? Four small holes to the head…covered with a bandaid for the weekend…no extra cranial pressure for a few days-running, yoga, no risk of head trauma for the weekend-surfing. Sorry early Spring swell…he’ll have to take a rain-check!
Headed to HUP for a quick Radiation treatment this afternoon, then home to recoup.
I’m sure there will be a Dean sighting out on the soccer field this week…if not sooner.
In the meantime… in my spare time…I set up this great Caring Bridge website for Dean. It is a much easier way to keep everyone up to speed with the happenings at 25 Centre….
In addition, I don’t have to worry that I missed someone in my email.
Love to all!
