We had them page Dr. Quang the Radiation Oncologist and while we were waiting for his call back they tried to tell me that Gator would have to be seen in the Emergency room in order to get the pain medicine. Luckily Dr. Quang called back while we were talking and the lady came out from the back and told the pharmacist that “he is on the phone and do not send them to the emergency room and he wants to talk to you now! Well the pharmacist came back in a couple of minutes and said the Dr. was already at home but he was coming back to the hospital and would be there in about 20 minutes. He showed up in ½ and hour, he had been trying all the doors in the hospital but because by this time it was after hours they only had the main entrance open! He really went out of his way to help us! Today is Sat. Jan 3^rd - The day after the Gamma Knife…

They said Gator could wake up in the morn with a funny looking face from the Novocain they used to numb his head leaching down to his face, but luckily that didn’t happen. His left eye is a little droopy but he has no swelling where they drilled the screws in and he has no headache and doesn’t even need the pain medication! After the surgery the nurse showed me how to roll a giant Q-tip to put some antibiotic cream in the holes where the screws were in Gators head. She said we would have to do this for 3 or 4 days. I was not looking forward to it! The next morning I removed the bandages to do what I had to do and the holes were totally closed! Gator is on so many prayer chains….Thank you all… It’s working! He just continues to do exactly the opposite of what the doctors expect! He says the next thing we need to focus on is his voice!
