After four hours of appointments to get all checked in and checked out (medically), we are all set for the big day tomorrow. We are finally resting in our hotel room, and will meet friends for dinner a little later. We are to arrive at the hospital at 7:30 AM. The surgery will start at 9:30 AM and last most of the day (Yikes!). They will come out every two hours to let me know how things are going. When they are finished, Bob will spend the first 24 hours in ICU.
We learned that it is unlikely that they would keep him longer than two weeks of monitoring due to the risk of infection. One possible outcome is that if they find a clear focal point where the seizures are originating, they might just go ahead and do the resection right when they go back in to remove the wires. Or else they will just take the wires out ad then all of the data they've gathered will go back before the neurology team for them to recommend a course of action.
I'll keep you posted as I get updates.
