Alan’s Army

We’ve been in the pre-op waiting room since 6pm.  A trauma case came in and took the OR  so we are waiting til it frees up.  But at least we actually saw the neuro-surgeon.  He wants to do the “Optic Nerve Fenestration” to both sides as he says it can’t hurt the left eye and could possibly help.  The downside is that the procedure could take away what little sight he has in the right eye, but their feeling is that he will likely lose that anyway, so its worth the risk.  He also wants to put Alan on serious intravenous  steroids so he is now talking about keeping him here for three days.

I will update further, thanks!
