The surgery is done!!
At 7:20pm the Dr came out to the waiting room, where Becky, Joe, and Merrie were, and said that the surgery was very successful. They got out the AVM and cleaned up the original bleed. He also said the risk of bleeding again over the next 24 hours is much lower because of the success of the surgery.
They are getting Bryan out of the anesthsia now and wheeled him to his ICU room. Joe is headed home because of the huge snow storm approaching, but Merrie and Becky get to go see him in about 45 min.
Bryan will be uncomfortable for a few days, but then he will be ready to go home this weekend. After the next 24 hours in the ICU, they will move Bryan to a regular room while he recovers for a few days.
God is so faithful and so good. Thank you for praying. Please continue to pray for Bryan as he goes through recovery. Keep the comments coming, Bryan really looks forward to them.

AMEN! Merrie, Becky, Jenny, Joe, and of course Bryan: You are an inspiration to be able to turn yourselves and the situation over to God so fully. May we all learn from you.
I am so thankful for the success of the surgery. Thank God for the superior care you have gotten from the start of this horrendous ordeal.
May Gods light shine on, in and through you throughout the next days and weeks and always.

Prayed for your surgery ALL day! Now we will pray for your recovery to be as speedy as it can be. Remember it takes longer for the brain to heal, take it easy and rest when your body tells you to (when you can of course)!! Blessings, Lisa Owen- Warner
