Well, it is snowing here in Normal, but Sarah is doing awesome! We got some fabulous news today. The tumor is completely gone! The doctors called it a "total gross resection". Sarah is 100% cured!
The incision is hidden just behind the hairline and goes from the middle of her head to the bottom of her ear. There are 61 staples on the incision...I counted. They also said she has some 400 stitches under the skin used to close all the layers of muscle and such.
Dr. Nardone was very happy with her progress today. She is walking on her own with no walker. She walked down the hall and up the stairs this morning with physical therapy. Her strength is great in both arms and legs. She's doing so well, in fact, the doctor said she can go home tomorrow.
The doctors gave us a CD with the MRI images on it so we can see the images. As soon as we get them on our computer we'll post the before and after. It's pretty amazing!
We're excited to start planning for this summer, getting back into our normal lives and having fun with all of our family and friends! Thanks, again, to all of you for everything you do for us!
That is just amazing! So happy for your family! So grateful for a loving Father in Heaven to watch over you all and everyone who has been taking care of Sarah!
