An eventful day with Gary seeing Dr. Chan who with us viewed the pictures from the MRI last week and was surprised to see that the tumor in his brain had grown quite a bit. He immediately said "We've got to get that out of your head" - it can keep growing and cause lots more damage. I suggest Stanford or USF." So Gary & I both agreed on Stanford and Dr. Chan said he would contact them and get back to us as soon as possible. He said we don't want to wait. Before the afternoon was over, Gary had a call from Stanford to tell him of the conversation with Dr. Chan and that he would be coming to Stanford on Monday for his evaulation and pre-op and surgery would be on Tuesday. SO that was a quick response!   They said he would be in the hospital for a few days, probably coming home on Friday.So lots of prayers going up for successful surgery and complete recovery from all his numbness, dizziness, etc.

We're checking motels that are pet friendly so will wait for the phone call tomorrow to tell us how soon we need to be at Stanford on Monday and make reservations then. Mark & Dena plan to come - so will get a room for them too. Julie may drive us - so we'll all be there for the surgery on Tuesday.
This picture was taken of Gary and Benji December 15, 2011 so nearly a year ago! They're such good buddies!
