Conan was taken in for surgery a few minutes ago.
As the day progressed yesterday (Sunday), it became apparent that Conan would not be able to get to Iowa City in the car safely. He was taken by ambulance Sunday afternoon to Trinity (Rock Island) and, after being evaluated there, was transferred to Iowa City via ambulance. Jennifer & Steve met him at the ER in Iowa City and he was there overnight.
10:00 am
Surgery has started and is going fine.

11:00 am:
Surgery is done, went as expected. The surgeon could see the excess fluid begin to drain as he was performing the procedure. Today is a day for resting and assessment; it will be difficult to tell if nausea and dizziness today is post-surgical or from the fluid on the brain, so we may not know much more until tomorrow.

Gretta has visited Conan: he says he has no dizziness or nausea. Complete 180 from past couple of days.
He was feeling so awful and it was VERY hard on those trying to care for him.
