I just got off the phone talking the “ Scary old woman ”Kerry’s wife Susie

This is the update that I got. The surgery took longer than expected and Kerry was under for just over 10 hours. The surgeon said that they got about 85% of the tumor and believes that a full brain radiation can kill off the rest of it. He was in ICU for 4days but was talking and recognizing voices witch is a good thing. At this time his eyes are swollen shut do the trauma but it’s expected. But has now been moved into his new room. You want to know what? They already have him up walking. He did have a full seizer while in ICU so the ruched him down to MIR and it’s not showing why he would have a seizer but will be doing more testing.
That’s about all I got for now and his son is going to bring a laptop tomorrow because Kerry told everybody that he needs to check into the CSN board so we won’t worry about him. Doesn’t that just sound like Kerry? So I hope he does check in. I told her to tell him that we've all been asking about him.

Sorry… but that’s all I have for now
