Please continue the prayers for Mike. The latest information we have is posted below.
He is in critical, but stable condition. All of this info is from Ken, he was at the hospital around 9:00 a.m.
There were 4 surgeons waiting in the ER on the slow (blizzard weather) ambulance in Des Moines. The x-ray in Osceola showed the blood clot.
He had a headache that got worse throughout the day. By evening he was laying on the basement carpet vomiting. Matthew drug him up the stairs and got him to the hospital.
The blood clot was on the brainstem. They shaved his head and his eyebrows. The incision is from the back (toward the right side of the back) clear up to the front of the hairline.
The doctor's still don't think it was caused from an injury. They have sent the clot to be tested? I don't know if it can be cancer or what the tests will show.
Martha told Ken Beeman that he wouldn't even recognize him he is so swelled and with his head shaved he doesn't look like himself.
He will probably be on the vent tube for 3-5 days.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration - Robert
I will definitely be praying!
