May 5-6th: They had a low key weekend so Zane could rest. Not their usual go go go.... Zane is healing up nicely and loves all the support he has been getting. Thank you everyone.
May 4th: WE ARE GETTING OUT OF THIS JOINT!!!!!! PA Fritz has already been in and working on the discharge. Whoop Whoop!!! Then our journey home begins. 10:04am: Zane was released from the hospital and is now traveling to Wisdom with Jimmer.
May 3rd: Update for today so far. Zane woke up feeling good. Momma Marilyn and Brother Casey headed out the boy was sad! But the doctor came in and removed the packing in his nose and is breathing better. Nose is Swollen and that will be around awhile. If he continues on the this healing path it sounds like he will be sprung tomorrow. Yay!!! We will head to Wisdom I can take care of him there, we live at my work and no stairs. We may have to swing through Helena to pick up some things. It’s Montana right we drive a lot. This all depends on how he feels. We will pick up some curb side groceries in Bozeman so my man doesn’t go hungry. Thanks all and love you all.
May 2nd 8:48am:Good morning. Zane says it was a long night but had great care. He had a CT at 5 ish. Waiting on Dr Goodman for an update. He's awake and visiting and guess what... talking! I'll or he will update more soon. 4:04pm: He's out. Dr went In and removed the blood. Looks like it was old blood. Not sure cause but could have been a small tumor that had hemorrhaged. But good outcome. Has a chunk of his leg inserted to close up things near his pituitary. He is recovery and am patiently and anxiously waiting to give him hugs and kisses. Hey tell the papas crew that he got his card and loved reading all the messages. Made him smile!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4:40pm: Ok out of ICU. Back in his original room 628. Yay!!!
May 1st 8:20am: Good morning! Surgery day. Zane is headed for a CT this morning then headed to surgery this afternoon. Not a confirmed time yet. Going in under his upper lip into the nasal cavity. Zane says last night is the best he’s slept. Still in pain and on the good meds. He’s talking and fully aware of what’s happening. Zane’s mom, dad and I are standing by here. Not much else at this time. The love is felt from you all. 11:03 am: Surgery now. 4.5 hours.
April 30th 8:27am: Dr Goodman was in. Plan is to go in tomorrow (if OR is available). CT indicated a bigger pocket of blood down toward his nose and drain that. Nasal endoscopy
April 29th 8:30am: So Dr Goodman was just in. It is confirmed a small bleed was behind the gland. Dr says he will monitor it over the weekend, will do another CT later today or tomorrow. Riding it out to see if the bleed goes away on its own. He's doing ok. Sleeping a lot and says he loves everyone. 7:29pm: Hospital Doctor in now. Said we aren't doing anything different. Pain meds, monitoring, and another MRI and CT tomorrow to check things out. Nothing surgical can be done right now. It’s not dire here. He is in pain but pain meds are being given. Will meet with the neurosurgeon in the morning and get him to explain things more thoroughly.
April 28th: Zane gets to the ER in Helena about 11:45am. Had a CT scan, then an MRI. By 4pm he was being loaded on to the helicopter to Billings. He arrived just before 5pm, Jimmer followed by car so he didn't arrive until 7pm to finish the loving care he's been giving since Zane called with the terrible headache that morning.
