Stu was in surgery for 5 hours. I came back home to be with the girls and keep them in school.
The doctor and I spoke just now. 4:45pm
Stu had a seizure just as they were opening him up to get the gunk out. The seizures continued throughout the surgery and the doctor had to add different medications to help get things under control, but nothing was working. The doctor finally had to give a medication that induced a coma. They were then able to remove about 70% of the scar tissue and tumor, while still trying to preserve Stu :).
Language couldn't be touched, so we aren't sure how much talking Stu will be able to do. Motor function is looking good, so hopefully that right hand will start to function better for him in the future.
Stu is in ICU and his mom, Natalie is by his side. He is will remain in an induced coma tonight while all the medications leave his system. Hopefully he will be up and smiling tomorrow.
Prayers!
Sandi, Stu, Stella and Jaida
Lots and lots of prayers coming your way along with big hugs. I'm going to put my Team Stu shirt on to channel strength and a quick recovery
