Post Surgery update... what a ride.
14 November 2023Roarkeys surgery ended up taking a whopping 8 hours but the surgeons are confident the tumor has been fully removed. Unfortunately 5 days post surgery Roarke suffered a stroke (caused from some embolization particles making its way into his brain) where he was air lifted to Starship Hospital. He has since been discharged and is making huge steps in regaining the sensation in his right side as well as speech! Thank you all so much for your generous support we couldn't of done it without you all and to all the people who have kept in touch with either myself or close family for updates and sending love. Despite the bumpy road we've had we are on the road to recovery. I am so amazed at how resilient Roarke is and how much better his breathing is. Much love Heather and Roarke.
