Just got off the phone with sister in law talking about Bob. I was going to be gone before this. So, here is all I know: Bob is okay, safe, and improving. We do not know of any procedure that will be done, though. We do not know when he will get out of the hospital. @webeishere , Grandpa Bob has had the brain tumor removed. He is recovering, out of ICU and is in good spirits. Tests on that tumor will determine what will happen about the lung cancer. He has pictures of his incision up on FaceBook. My dad, also a Bob--Roy Robert-- is in a hospital in Oklahoma City. Taken there yesterday due to becoming unresponsive at a doctor appointment. Dehydration, renal insufficiency, and low blood sugar. I have talked to lots of people on the phone as well as sending out e mails and Facebook messages. I am out the door to Salina to the hospital now.

Great news on Grandpa Bob! I wouldn't have thought they could be removed from the brain so that is wonder to learn! I am so sorry to hear about your father I hope he will be okay!

With brain tumors and all other cancers it depends on what kind they are and how deeply imbedded they are. Did you see the picture on Facebook, maybe not. They did not even shave his whole head, just a patch kind of like a headband from one side to the other.

@shaggin Oh, I am really sorry. This one was causing Bob Olson's blood pressure to go high.

@GardenGerty no I don't know him on Facebook to see the photo. I just got bad news about my grandmother that she has tumors and one is blocking her throat so she can't eat or swallow and is having trouble breathing. She is 82 so I am not sure of the will be able to do surgery.

Here's hoping. If my Bob is well enough we will go to Oklahoma the last weekend of the month for my dad's birthday. If we were all really well we would go to Minnesota, as Bob Olson just lives ten miles from my daughter.

I am sending positive thoughts to all the Bob's in your life. I hope that your Bob will be able to come home soon and that your father will begin to improve. Renal insufficiency is a scary word.

My dad has fallen prey to the "parts is parts" effect. Take this pill for this part and this pill for that part and who cares if it hurts yet another part. I am hoping we get some answers on my Bob from this next doctor.

If I could fix him by feeding him, my Bob would be well.
