After 12 hours in surgery, we just spoke with the entire surgical team of doctors. The surgery was a success! We have two pieces of great news...
1. The tumor is benign.
2. They were able to remove the entire portion of the tumor compressing the brain stem
They accomplished everything they set out to get done today!
The third piece of good news will need to come as she wakes up and they see how she responds.
The recovery nurse also just came out to let us know she is recovering well so far and has the breathing tube out and is breathing normally on her own.
A great friend was kind enough to bring us dinner on short notice and we've had the company of even more friends and family tonight!
We are so immensely grateful for all of your prayers and kindness. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people around us.
We'll continue to keep everybody posted.
Our love and gratitude to all,
Josh
