Staple removal part II and update


Don't you just wanna pinch those cheeks?!?!?!?!? Pablo doesn't like profile shots of himself so he sent me the second shot so I could post it too.

PABLO'S COMING HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!

After I left the hospital today, one of the neurosurgeons had a chat with Pablo (never fails to happen when I'm not at the hospital...). Turns out, the tumour was a grade 3 2 benign one. There is still a bit left in his brain and because of this, there is a good chance that another tumour will form. In a month, once Pablo has healed, there will be a discussion whether he should undergo chemo and/or radiation to get rid of what's left. He'll have to get checked every 4-6 weeks to see whether or not another tumour has grown.

Even though he gets to come home tomorrow, there will be many appointments at the hospital in the coming weeks. He also isn't supposed to be left alone for the next couple of months in case he has another mini-stroke.

Isabella is so excited to have her dad home tomorrow! I'm looking forward to it too.

    I'm so glad he gets to come home tomorrow! He looks pretty stinking good for a guy who just had brain surgery!

    Not that he doesn't look good for a guy without brain surgery. ;-)

    Happy Dance! Happy Dance! Happy Dance! Squealing, yelling, laughing. Don't you two ever do this to us again :):) The lesbian ex-nun prayer mafia strike again. Although I haven't told the girls to stand down yet. Such good news.
