Kenny Update--October 24th

Kenny is doing very well after his surgery. He is in a regular room and we will probably be heading home tomorrow. He says he has no pain and is not on any pain meds. They also put tubes in his ears and his hearing is back to normal. We were actually able to talk in a normal voice at the foot of his bed and he was able to understand what we were saying. He is a little

pale, somewhat sleepy and has been able to follow conversations well.

The surgery was not as long as planned. The growth was not as large as was expected but it did test positive for cancer. They did not have to be as invasive into his brain as they were last time. The surgeons said that the skull and areas around the tumor look good but they are a little perplexed by the section of the tumor that did grow. I think everyone is interested in the biopsy results to determine what, how and why.

He has drank ½ of a boost, has played on his iPad for a few minutes and is taking a nap right now. He is looking forward to going home.
