good evening,

He should take his normal medications this evening, and then nothing to eat or drink after midnight tonight.

He can take his morning dose of dexamethasone and keppra in the morning before he comes, with just a tiny sip of water, just enough to get it down.

Otherwise, quite strictly, after midnight tonight, no food, water, juice, coffee, gum, candy or mints, etc.

Brushing teeth is ok.

see you in the morning,

Cheryl

Debbie-
I can't find the papers Cheryl left with me re medication for tonight. I'm pretty certain I know what to do but could you link me to her email please. Thanks, Hunter

Hunter,

Thanks for the update regarding food. We will have things in place in case there is a change in plan.

The arrival time on Thursday is 5:30 am at the latest, as Beau is scheduled to go to the OR at 7:00 am. This is normal protocol.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

Debbie

Thanks Debbie. Few things:
One, Dad and Mom are not coming until mid morning on Thursday now (at least I think I've convinced them of that). Two, thank you for the offer of food but it will only be me for breakfast- and I can figure that out on my own and for dinner it's just me mom and dad so I'm pretty sure we will just eat back in hotel room- it's very generous of you guys but I don't want to waste the food. Also if we are starting at 5:15 for privacy reasons - again it's just me and Beau in the morning so no real need to sneak in before everyone else - in other words let me know if we can come in later if that is the normal protocol. Thanks.

10:00 am lab work, Brain & Spine Center

pre-op with Dr. Lang, Brain & Spine Center


Schedule for Thursday, April 2nd

5:15 am arrive to Diagnostic Imaging D (location of last MRI)

A pre-op nurse is going to come over and do her thing

G. L. will be sedated and Dr. Lang will place the head frame.

MRI will be performed

7:00 am Approximate time G. L. will be taken to the operating room

Length of procedure – about two hours

9:00 am Approximate time G. L. will be transferred to ICU to recover and overnight stay

We have blocked three rooms in the ICU unit, one for G. L., one for family and one for Security. Please note: anyone going into patient’s room will have to wear protective clothing – gloves, mask, and gown.

We have also reserved the conference room on B8 (where you were before) for the entire length of stay. The plan is to release G. L. on Friday but have reserved this room through Sunday.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided on B8 throughout the patient’s stay. Please let me know if there are special requests or if we should plan on not serving meat on Friday.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do or if you need additional information.

Debbie

Thanks- this may seem ridiculous- but those guys are my Dad's guys and won't necessarily communicate with me unless I find them- so when you have full schedule please also make sure you let me know directly. Thanks.

Hunter,

Mr. Lincoln’s schedule currently has him scheduled at 7:45 am with Dr. Lang, lab work, and the Anesthesiologist.

Would it be easier if we started at 10:00 am.

Let me know.

Debbie
