Tim's surgery on Tuesday (3/24) went well. The surgery lasted about 90 minutes. Dr. Leppla put in a titanium plate to replace the bone that was removed due to the staph infection he developed (the photo shows the model of his skull used to make the plate). He came home on Friday and has been really sore but feeling a little better everyday. His doctors have also decided it would be best for him to take medical leave for at least 6 months. We anticipate he will be home recovering until late summer.
From here, he will need to continue chemotherapy for a short period of time. He will see his doctor in Utah within the next month who will do some more tests and determine how many more chemo cycles (months) he will need.
Needless to say, we are looking forward to closing this chapter and getting on with life!!!
