Corey Gray had surgery this past Tuesday, and is still in ICU at Presbyterian/Dallas. What started out, a year and a half ago, as plastic surgery to repair his eye, to this weeks' surgery where they had to cut him ear-to-ear across the top of his head and MOVE his brain...it's been a long hard ordeal for him.
When he to the Dr. the first time in Feb. of 2009, for plastic surgery to repair a childhood injury to his eye, they did a CT scan and found a blocked sinus and a cyst that had formed and had bore through to his brain. In the previous 3 surgeries, they were able to go up through his nose....this last one was the surgery (the last resort) that they were hoping to avoid.
Before his surgery, on Tuesday, they put a camera in his head and a tube in his back to drain the spinal fluid out so they would be able to work easily on his brain. Which is now causing him terrible headaches. (Hopefully the drain will come out today.) During surgery they had to do skin, bone and "belly pocket" grafts.
They gave him new meds yesterday and he's allergic to them and is miserable today...hopefully this will have worn off by this afternoon.
He will continue to be in ICU for another day or 2 and hopefully will be home by Monday.
Please keep Corey, Carol Kay and their girls in your prayers.
