Over the last 10 days, Conan has been experiencing some dizziness and it was getting steadily worse. On Wednesday he saw the neurologist in Iowa City and one of the tumors is pressing on a duct that allows cerebral spinal fluid to drain. (The result is hydrocephalus, and this causes pressure on the brain.)
On Monday afternoon he will have an EVT surgery. Essentially this makes a new place for that fluid to drain and it should ease the vertigo. He will be hospitalized for about 3 days post op.
I will post updates as I have them on Monday.
***Update: Surgery has been rescheduled to 8:00 am.
