Hello from ICU

It's been 2 days since the surgery and I am still alive.

Hello all and thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

He's up and about

They got Kurt up and walked around a bit. He told me this when I came back from dinner. So that's very good news! They gave him another dose of pain meds so he's trying to rest now while I hold his hand, but what with all the machines whirring and buzzing and clicking and beeping, how do they expect anyone to get any actual rest????? It will be good when he is released so he have some QUIET to get some real sleep. Don't know yet when that will happen but we are all looking forward to it. Now we just have to figure out how to keep him occupied when he's back at the hotel recovering, as we're in Dallas for 2 more weeks...any suggestions, your comments are welcome. I need to find the nearest Redbox for DVD's - do they have those here?

Still in ICU

Kurt is still in ICU as expected. He's having a lot more pain than they warned us about and he's on 3 different pain relievers which just barely take the edge off. Barely. But they have gotten him up out of bed twice today and he was sitting in a chair for a while. His eye is swelling shut which they said would happen. Keep sending positive healing thoughts. He is slowwwwllllyyy getting better.

Kurt doing well!!

He's out of surgery in recovery now and as soon as he's settled in ICU we can visit him. The neuro said he's complaining. But that's probably a good sign, I think. Now for the recovery...

Still going well

Kurt wanted me to keep updating his blog while he's out, so here's another update for everyone. The neurosurgeon is done with the excision and sent the stupid mass off to the pathologist, and the bone for the reconstruction has been removed and is being sculpted as I write this. The "stealth guidance system" they used for the extraction worked perfectly according to the neuro. About halfway through now. Keep the positive thoughts coming!

Kurt in surgery

Kurt has been in surgery for a little over 4 hours now and the o.r. Nurse says they are opening the skull and he is doing "great" so keep the prayers coming! A ways to go yet. Melissa
