And now we wait...

Hi friends,
Well, a week out from surgery and Mike is doing well. His head still hurts quite a bit. He is still stuffy and I'm uncertain as to whether the packing in his nose has dissolved. We see the ENT surgeon Wednesday morning. Due to Mike's stuffiness, he has little taste - this is proving a great diet! He also may be getting a sinus infection which only adds to the pressure and pain in his head :(:( His restrictions are great - no lifting anything over 5 pounds, no housework, no taking the dogs out, no bending, no driving, no sneezing or coughing with the mouth closed - anything that can put pressure on the brain is out of the question. The hole that was cut in the brain was also patched. If the patch ruptures, cerebral spinal fluid can leak and that is not good. He is taking it easy and we are still waiting on the biopsy results. We also have follow-up appointments with the endocrinologist and neurosurgeon in a few weeks. Time and bloodwork will tell if the endocrine issues are any better and headaches are hard to decipher now as his head still hurts from the surgery. So we wait. . . . and hope . . .
