I don't want to post anything I shouldn't so maybe he will chime in with an update, but I know they are so focused on this that I certainly wouldn't think he would have time to come on here unless they're just in a sit around and wait situation.
But I will pass on a little of what he posted on Facebook and that is that they weren't able to do the surgery yesterday. They had him all prepped and even under anesthesia when his oxygen levels dropped and the anesthesiologist called it off. They did some CTs (he was still under the anesthesia) and they didn't pinpoint the problem. No update yet on what the next step is. Don't know when it is rescheduled for, if they will keep him in the hospital or what. It's just really a sickening thought that he had to eventually wake up to find out nothing had been done after months of preparing for such a major operation.
I feel so badly. It's been a long haul just to get to this point and I know that the medication keeping the seizures under control is pretty much incapacitating him. They have a good family and the siblings are all really close, with no animosity between the ones who have left the church and the ones who have not. Please just keep them in your thoughts.
Just for fun, here's a little taste of who we're talking about (the patient). Certainly one of the most interesting and talented exmos out there:
