Kenny Update--April 30th Evening

We have been in to see Kenny and Jo is with him now. We are waiting for him to be transferred to his room. He will be in a step down ICU instead of full ICU over at the James Cancer Center at OSU. He obviously has one big headache and they have him on a good pain management medication. He is in great spirits as always and has been dosing off and on. He woke up well in recovery and when the nurses asked his pain level on a scale of 1 to 10 he rated it a 3 with all of the pressure that had been relieved. The nurse was uncomfortable with him coming out of surgery and him not having any pain meds so she administered a dose anyway. As that was wearing off he DID ask for his next dose. I think he has had more of a headache then he has realized for several weeks but was used to it. He has some bruising around his left eye. His pupils are almost the exact same size so they were able to relieve the constriction around the artery that feeds the optic nerve. His vitals are good but he is very pale. Blood labs are going to be run in an hour to check his hemoglobin levels.

It has been a whirlwind few weeks for the family. Jo and I are breathing a lot easier than we have. There is still a long difficult road ahead for Kenny and we covet your continued prayers. One large battle has been won today but the war continues.
