Tuesday, May 26th- DOCTOR VISIT

Nothing but good news!  First, Jenny reported that Keith walked without his walker yesterday.  Wobbly at first, he did much better the 2nd time he tried to walk.  This was great news for Jenny.

 

Today we got more good news.  We transported Keith by Ambulance to visit his neurosurgeon Dr. Duong.  His doctor was amazed at Keith’s progress and said that Keith came from being near death, as Dr. Duong put it (he was extremely critical when he came into the Emergency Room), to where he is today and said that they got this one right or did something right!  We are happy that Keith’s surgery is on Dr. Duong’s list of success stories.  The doctor said Keith looked remarkable and while they would typically measure his skull to determine the amount of swelling, he said that there was no need to measure since he could visually see that the swelling was gone.  Dr. Duong is scheduling Keith into surgery to have the piece of his skull reattached that has been stored in his stomach.  At Jenny’s request (Jenny was at work), we took a picture of Keith off one of the cell phones to send to her.  Keith stuck his tongue out at Jenny.  Keith was talking, making jokes and was in excellent spirits!

 

We continue to thank God for Keith’s miraculous recovery!!!
