Biopsy

Monday morning dad had another MRI to get the "coordinates" for the tumor they were going to go after during the biopsy. The biopsy happened on Monday afternoon.  We were told that it would be 3 hours but it was finished in an hour and a half!  The doctor said that dad did great during surgery.  The neurosurgeon was able to go through dad's original incision, which made the whole surgery a lot easier.  We were told that dad would be spending 2 days in the hospital but was actually released today!  He was so excited to come home!  He is doing great- he has been resting a lot today.  We should have the results back from the biopsy in about 3-5 days. 

Dad, Frankie and Mom


Thank you again for all your thoughts, prayers and support!  Also, for those that have sent dad texts, emails and comments- he loves receiving/reading them!
