Bill got into surgery at 11:45am and the procedure was complete at 12:30pm, no complications. Mom and I are still in the ICU waiting area. There's typically a 2-3 hour hold before they transfer him to a room, at which time we will pay him a visit. During the process, the neurosurgeon removed a blood clot in his brain with the same incision used for the Ommaya Reservoir. No answers on the clot, but the doctors need to meet at the round table before communicating to us.
The plan is for Bill to leave the hospital Tuesday and his Spinal Fluid Chemo will start Wednesday or Thursday. However, nothing is definite until it actually happens. This weeks findings were a slight deviation from path to recovery, but I think we're back on track.
Thanks to all of you for your support.

Uncle Bill,
I am glad to hear there were no complications with the surgery. Keep trudging...I love you, and continue to pray for you every chance I get.
Jon, I am so thankful for all of the updates. EB explained everything to me last night. Thank God for a sister and brother in law that understand the lingo.
Aunt Nancy, You are in my thoughts and prayers too. Remember Faith can get you through anything.
The rest of the Huber clan...Love you and praying for you!
Love,
Melissa

Love ya,

Bill, Nancy and Kids,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Glad to hear that the surgery was relatively uneventful. What luck for the clot to be in just the right position to be removed in the same procedure.
Jim and I continue to follow Tennessee's football season. We're counting on seeing a game either in Ohio or Tennessee with you next year.
Love, Jim and Kathy
My prayers have been with you all day.
Thanks for all the up dates.
So glad to hear that the clot was removed.
We will faithfully keep praying.
Love,
Paula and Jim
It seems I have been sending messages all wrong, Please don't think I have forgotten about you. I am so sorry about the need for extra surgery, but pleased to hear it went OK. Bill has been on my mind all day. Jon, thank you for all the wonderful updates. Nancy I am so glad you got to see your new grandson. That is something I still don't have. Mark and I talk of you often. By the way he spent the afternoon with Pres. Bush, among several others... of course he is not my favorite.
Take care. Lots of love and prayers
Pat and Mark
Every challenge comes for a reason - if the procedure had not been done, the blood clot may have never been found. God truly works in mysterious ways. Bionic Bill now has another hole in his head! I guess that is what we all wish to avoid, but in his case, it is welcomed! So thankful that the detour was a short one, and we can get back to the healing process.
As it was once said: You've been on my mind - everyone else has been on my nerves!
Love, prayers, and good health,
Gail, Marty and Mom
Hi Bill and Nancy & Family,
Such a relief that Bill is out of surgery and that it went well-praise God! Still praying hard for you all to lean on God for strength and guidance. Thanks so much for keeping us updated,
Your friend in singing praises to God, Joyce
