I teared up and not just because I got Vick’s VapoRub in my eye.
From Tj Klune
Eric’s post-surgical MRI results came in. The neuro was right: he was able to remove the entire hemangioma. This is huge. As long as there is no damage to his brain stem from the surgery, he might be able to return to how he was prior to this whole mess. It will take time, but time we’ve got.

Busy day. Eric had his MRI last night. We haven’t gotten the results from it yet, but the neuro doesn’t seem worried.
Since the surgery was on his brain stem, there is swelling there, which in effect has caused decreased sensation in his arms and legs. He can feel me touching his left arm but can’t move it. He won’t be able to until the swelling subsides.
He will be moved to a new hospital in Richmond next week to work on getting him off the ventilator. After that, he should be moved to a rehab location. We hope to find one at home.
While the surgery was a success, it was a single step in a much longer journey. He has his good days and his bad days. We both do. But I count every single day as a win because we have come this far already. And while we still have a ways to go, I know in my heart he is going to be just fine.
I’ll be taking over Dreamspinner’s Facebook page today from 9 am to Noon PST. Come join me! I’ll be doing giveaways and um… readings. My voice is shot so we’re going to see if I can get / beg one of the San Diego Crewe to do the reading for Tequila Mockingbird.
Really, drunken goose being strangled. That’s what I’m sounding like today.

From TJ:
Eric is getting a new MRI to confirm that the hemangioma is gone from his brain stem. I am at home for the night, trying to rest up.
She hasn’t left my side since I got home. When I walked in the door, she was sleeping in his rocking chair.
Don’t forget to join me on Dreamspinner’s Facebook page tomorrow from 9 am to Noon Pacific Standard time.
I will be doing readings and giveaways and stopping to grab some coffee then trip over my cat as we race to the kitchen.
What? That’s how Saturdays go!

Eric : Let’s have a cookie.
Me: You can’t.
Eric: Why?
Me: The nurse will kick me out if I tried to give you a cookie.
Eric: I won’t tell her.
Me: She’ll know.
Eric: Well, she’s mean and I don’t like her.
First day after surgery and he is already trying to get me in trouble.
