Update July 17, 2016 Neuropace Surgery

Bob is scheduled to have brain surgery to implant the RNS NeuroPace device early tomorrow morning. We will arrive at the hospital at 5:30am and he will go in for the surgery about 7:30am.  The surgery should take two to four hours. They will cut a hole the size of a silver dollar in Bob's skull which is where the pacemaker will sit and there will be two electrodes that go into his brain to lay alongside each hippocampus. After the surgery he will go to ICU until he is stabilized. He is only expected to stay in the hospital one or two nights, then we will be back home. We are grateful for your thoughts and prayers.
