9/26/2007 New Morning Update

September 26th, 2007 by shahin

Shahin was wide awake this morning and his white count was down to 30,000… Down 3,000 from 4pm yesterday.  At 12:30 (about 5 minutes ago) he was rolled away to the operating room for his Tracheotomy.  The actual procedure takes about 5 minutes, but he will be in the OR for about 30 minutes.  They will have him under full anesthesia and it will take him about an hour to come back around.  It will be good to see him without a huge tube in his mouth.  He won’t be able to talk, but he will be able to mouth words. 

I will send an evening update once his new blood results are back.
