After Ken's surgery on October 5th, we were released on October 8th. Ken was feeling okay, but his speech was getting progressivly worse. On Sunday, he was not able to form a sentence at all, and was not eating, so I called the Neurosurgeon on-call, and he told us to go to Fairfax Hospital Emergency Room and he would meet us there. They did a CT Scan w/ contrast and discovered that Ken had had another stroke. He was admited Sunday afternoon, and is in the Stroke Center at Fairfax Hospital.
Ken called last night at around 10pm and again at 11pm. Dr. Bernad finally made it by his room last night. He will not be released today (Tuesday) as Ken had hoped.
I still have NOT heard from the neurosurgeon, Dr. Deshmukh yet.
Ken's speech seems to be much worse in the evening, and overall doesn't really seem to be improving.
His pain is being well managed, and he is comfortable.
I will be at the hospital today at 11am, and will update here with additional information.
