Big news

Dec.3rd

James was taken to VGH yesterday (Tuesday) because the team at GF Strong was concerned with increased swelling in James’ head. James was having more problems with his left side and was not acting himself. A CT scan indicated increased swelling (outside his brain), which was putting pressure on his brain likely causing the neurological problems. The VGH neurosurgeon told us it is not life threatening but they do plan on doing surgery tomorrow to drain the fluid and replace the bone flap. They say this is routine surgery and are confident this will alleviate the problem. He should be back at GF Strong early next week. Please send lots of positive thoughts to James tomorrow! Hopefully he will pull through with no difficulties and will be back to himself soon.

Thanks everyone!
