Update On Jerry Bolack--Today's surgery

[Guest guest]

Okay. Thanks for the prayers everyone. Jerry is now out of surgery. Dr.

Weingart says that he removed a large blood clot from the outside of

Jerry's brain. It did not get to the inside (thank the Lord for that).

He says that he inserted a shunt to help with blood drainage, and

doesn't foresee having to do this again. He says that we should not

expect Jerry to be released from the hospital for at least 4 days this

time (duh).

I realize that Dr. Weingart is famous for doing this surgery, and has

helped a lot of people. But I personally think that he made a very bad

call when he released Jerry from the hospital yesterday, barely 48

hours post-op.

I can't help but think that Jerry would have developed the blood clot whether

he was in the hospital or not. This is a very unexpected outcome for the

decompression surgery. I am glad to know that they were able to remove the

clot.
