Hello Sun

The sun is shinning in on the Trofholz ICU room this morning. Dad got to have water this morning and gets to order what ever he wants for breakfast. Aside from some pretty significant pain from the surgical sight, he is swallowing fine and does not appear to have any neurological deficits beyond what he already had going into the surgery. Up to this point, he is making a miraculous recovery. We want to thank you all for your prayers; they clearly have been working.

He got to see Dr. Spetzler again this morning, which was a welcomed surprise. Dad asked him if he got it all out. Dr. Spetzler said they got everything they could see and that they would follow up with MRIs to be sure but that he felt really good about it. Dad was visibly relieved.

He is scheduled for his first follow up MRI tonight at 7:00 Arizona time.

Dad says, “Happy Halloween.”
