We still do not have any news on Melissa (Melissa778), regarding her cranioplasty on 12/31/09.
Sharon (shabuck), is home after a two week stay at the hospital. She had a rough time with her 12/3/09 surgery in London.
Though it was not on the AN Calendar, Jim (JimC) had GK treatment on 1/1/2010 at Cleveland Clinics Gamma Knife Facility, and has a follow up on Jan. 12
He posted this link to an article on Gamma Knife:

Lauren (ombrerose4) had BAHA surgery, and everything went very well.
Doc (Doc B) is scheduled to finish CK treatments today, after a brief delay. You can read his blog at:
www.wonkyhead.com
Kim (kimmccan) posted that “The outcome was far beyond my expectationsâ€.
Lynn’s (Lynn Mc) pre-ops went well in Boston, and they put her concerns about her bad hip at ease.
Congratulations to our newest Posties, and to those that had treatments/pre-op testing, and continued good thoughts for speedy recoveries to all that are traveling that road.
This week:
Monday Karen (Omaschwannoma), previously (Arushi), celebrates her 5 year anniversary. Happy Anniversary Karen, you are a valued Hero Member.
Tuesday Mei Mei (Mei Mei) will be having retrosigmoid surgery. We hope the presents of your daughter and the arrival of your new granddaughter on 12/26, will give you comfort and something to look forward. Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a successful surgery, and speedy recovery.
Also on Tuesday we want to wish Jim (JimC) the best on his follow-up appointment after having had GK treatment on 1/1/10.
Wednesday Paula (pb) is having GK treatment. Good vibes your way also for successful results with your treatments.
Thursday Kevin (Amplified2000) will have ABR, VNG, and ASSR testing. I have to admit I do not know what the ASSR test is for. We hope that all the test results are favorable.
Saturday Sue (Vogstar5) is celebrating a birthday. Happy Birthday Sue.
We will also keep Kathy (KathyM) and Cheryl’s (another NY postie) friend’s son Riley in our thoughts and prayers as she battles breast cancer, and he battles leukemia.
Have a great week everyone,
Rich & Scarlett

Thanks Rich, as always. Another fine job of updating the AN community.
I'll be succinct and wish the surgery and radiation patients splendid outcomes and minimal-to-no complications in their procedures. Best of outcomes to those undergoing pre-op testing and those having follow-up appointments. Happy birthday to Sue and happy 5th 'AN anniversary' to Karen. I'm elated over Kim's excellent surgery outcome as well as Lauren's good BAHA surgery result I'm also pleased about Jim C's successful GK procedure and that Doc is finally finishing up his CK treatment after that unexpected delay for machine repairs. I'm glad Lynn's pre-op went well for her and her hip issue has been satisfactorily addressed.
I'm sorry Sharon had such a hard time and I trust things will soon improve for her. I also hope to soon learn about Melissa's crainoplasty. Finally, prayers continue for Kathy and Cheryl's friend's son, 12-year-old Riley, who is battling cancer.

Hi Rich!
Thank you for the detailed update on all previous treatments, and those yet to come. Prayers all around to those having surgery, radiation and follow-up testing.
Continued prayers for Kathy and Riley -- stay strong.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, KAREN!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUE!
Please also keep Kelly718 (new member!) in your thoughts as she receives her update on her 'Tube O' Gloom' [MRI] report on Wednesday.
May the report be totally uneventful, boring and with no growth.
Have a great week, all.
Sincerely,
Sue
