Melinda S in TX Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 They took Steven back at 7:30. UPDATE Steven did well today. He is awake, eating icechips, and talking. His head hurts some, but not much. He is passing the tests like wiggling fingers and toes, squeezing hands, and tracking wiggling fingers. It's too soon to see if this has helped his clarity or vision. The surgeon was able to remove all of the visible tumor. They are pretty certain they know what it is, but will know for sure by Wednesday. Steven will likely need oral chemo and radiation. He'll probably be in ICU until Sunday.and then a regular room for four to five days. Thank you so much for your prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
