My friend Chris had her brain tumor removed yesterday. It was a succesful operation. It took 12 hrs. They did find that it was a fast growing tumor and larger than they anticipated. If it hadn't been removed, it would have killed her within a year. She has some side effects that are starting to show up already. To remove the tumor, they needed to cut a nerve that will affect the left side of her face and her left eye. She will need additional surgery so she can control her eye, however the drooping of the left side of her face is most likely permanent. It sounds like she will be coming out of ICU quite quickly (possibly tomorrow). I am so thrilled that she has made it thru, and I will take her any way I can get her. I appreciate all of your kind thoughts and prayers and ask you continue praying for her during recovery.
Hugs,
Wendy
