TK Update
 
I just got off the phone with TK.

He is at Summit Medical Center tight now. The medical facility dropped the ball on the MRI, so that was done this evening and they have found that the spell was not a stroke like was thought earlier.

They have found a Subdural Hematoma which is blood on the outside of the brain. This has caused his brain to shift. This was due to a past injury, suspecting the fall that occurred in April.

They are looking into either draining the blood or maybe letting it dissolve.

Please keep TK and Lawanna in your thoughts and prayers through this difficult process.

Forgive my ignorance but is that better news or worse? I will be definitely keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.

As of right now it sounds better, but further investigation will tell. The good thing is that the bleeding was not in the brain, but external of the brain so hopefully it will be a fairly simple procedure where they just release the old blood. It's also good that there is no current bleeding.

I'm no doctor, or have any background in the medical field, just stating my thoughts and what TK has told me.

Hard to believe with all the medical advancements and equipment that this can happen!!! Will most definitely keep him in our prayers.

Just got off the phone with TK, and another update.

He goes into surgery tomorrow around 10 or 11am. They are going to drill 4 holes in his skull to remove the blood and pressure, and expected to be released Monday or Tuesday. The procedure is expected to take 40 minutes to 1hr.

He seems in good spirits, but does sound a little worried. I told him we were all thinking about him and Lawanna and that they are in our thoughts and prayers.

Went by his house today and wondered how he was doing. Prayers are sent.

Side Note: Uh, Id be worried too if they were drilling into my skull, regardless of blood there or not!
