Well, thanks to all for your prayers, they mean a lot! Long day today. Original plan was to do a biopsy, 3 inch incision, small hole in scull and take some sample for testing, as they were not sure what, exactly the mass is/was. However, when we arrived at the hospital this morning that had changed for some reason and they attempted to remove it. Glioma Tumor, and they got about 50% of it. Not sure what the direction is going forward is, probably learn that tomorrow ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Again, thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. roughly 8 hours of surgery, a titanium plate on his head with screws and 'railroad track' arcing over a good bit of his head, Doc's feel they got about 50% of the tumor, the remaining 50% rooted in the brain tissue. We haven't heard the biopsy results yet, but Doc's don't think it is malignant. Son faces weeks/months of radiation, or chemo, or both to treat the remaining tumor tissue. Docs think the prognosis is good ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
