Suture Removal Successful

Today, Luz had her sutures taken out at Stanford Hospital. The doctor successfully removed 18 staples from each side of her head, 6 from the back of her head, plus stitches from her chest. John said Luz's energy has been good and her body has healed well since the surgery last week.

Luz was able to get an appointment for activation earlier than expected, because another Parkinson's patient cancelled. John & Luz will drive home tomorrow (Friday), and return next Thursday (3/26) to the Stanford Guest House.

Activation of Luz's DBS apparatus is scheduled for Friday, March 27.

John will send a further update once he arrives home to Shasta.
