Hospital, Day 2, PM Post

I called the hospital a few times during the afternoon and they said Jocelyn was still in surgery. Finally, at 8:30 PM, I reached Bernie at the hospital to get an update. They were just bringing Jocelyn back from recovery room. She now rests in the Neuro ICU. Bernie stated that she was in pain. Instructions from Bernie-NO VISITORS UNTIL SHE GETS HOME. What I know: tumor had been there a long time. Tumor was calcified and the tenicals were deeply embedded in the scalp. In order to get all the tenicals, the neurosurgeon spent 4 hours using laser. Then he needed to reconstruct scraped area for cosmetic reasons. The tumor was high between the scalp and forehead. Any indentations would show on her forehead; thus, detail to surgery matters. Surgery was said to be a success. Celeste is staying in the room with Jocelyn at the hospital tonight, at this point. As I get updated, I will post the details. Jocelyn should be in ICU for 48 hours. Then, she could be in a hospital room additional 4 days. This could change based on physician orders.
