Update on Tyler Ketchum, 121310 - emerg surgery sked f Mon/tues
via Rev. Margaret: News about Tyler again. He had gone home for a spell. After the last surgery to open up a path for the fluids to drain off his brain his headaches were gone and he was just waiting for the brain swelling to go down enough for them to do major surgery sometime in January. However, Last night his tumor started to bleed again. He got a very bad headache and they went into the hospital right away. The docs had to give him enough morphine to knock him out to get the pain down. He was hurting so bad he was shaking. They are going to go in and try to remove that angiomoma as soon as they can get a team ready and an OR open. Maybe Monday or Tuesday. It is critical to get this thing out before the bleeding causes severe damage but it is going to be hard to get to with h. He is not up to company. Even people moving about and talking around him hurts his head.
