Hello everyone,

 So we are still here in Fremont and have a flight booked for tomorrow back to LA. 

This morning we had an appointment with a neurologist as Dr Ting found something unusual going on in John’s brain and wanted a specialist to take a look before they even thought about performing surgery, and of course to check there is no serious damage to the brain.

Everything went ok, there is a small bruise to the back of the brain that was bleeding but not anymore. They have rescheduled John to come back in 6 weeks to re check and see if there is any change in size.

Once he gave the all clear on going under for surgery, Tings assistant Tuan “ made it happen” and rescheduled a surgery so that they could sort John out that day.

Surgery took place around 5pm and didn’t wrap up till around 7.30-8pm.

I waited in the recovery room till he eventually came around. He is so funny to be around when he does, complete joker! The nurses love him and kept repeating him self like 5x over ;)

We got back to the hotel around 9.45 and just made sure that John took it easy from now on. I was exhausted that I had to lye down for a little nap, but was woken up around 1am by a persistent hungry John! We drove around the area on a hunt for food…

So that brings us here, its now 2.30am and we are both up just talking and watching TV.

Thank you for all caring so much, and being so supportive. It always helps the recovery process and keeps John motivated through the tough times!
