Waiting for a room-technical details

We haven’t seen him yet as they are preparing to move him to the intensive care unit. The surgeon told us that they never found any missed connections so how the seizures were crossing over the corpus collosum remains a mystery. They ended up taking out the frontal lobe and most of the parietal lobe from the disconnected side.  When connected directly to an EEG, these parts were seizing mildly. There was some  significant blood loss which took some time to control, but no transfusion was necessary.  Head was not shaved.

P.s I put these technical details here mostly for future reference when future doctors ask probing questions and I will have totally forgotten the details . 😅
