2020 09 23 Surgery Recovery.

Quick summary (will write detail in sep post)

Alex was doing well Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning he was sitting up bedside.

Monday afternoon Alex went into 2 hour surgery that lasted 6 hours.  The replaced his scalp and put him back together with titanium plates, screws and stitches.

Monday and Tuesday Alex stayed in the Intensive Care Unit for hourly monitoring.  They claim that all went well. today (Wednesday) we wait on his turn to go into the MRI scan to check all and make sure (via imaging) that all went well.

We are back on the main hospital room floor and waiting our turn for the mri. We are unable to do any therapies until all teams approve them. Alex is in pain amd very figity. He is on pain management medication every 4 hours and on back onto his routine AED medicines that also happen on a four hour interval.

Alex is back together, still in pain, but now in the position to move forward with aggressive rehabilitation.
