well, i went to see her at 630 this morning and she seemed good. we both cried a little but mainly because we were nervous. i left her and went to work. the doctors had told us that she would probably not be out of surgery at 1145 like the schedule read but she was. my dad called at 1151 saying that she was in recovery and that we could see her at 300. i walked in and our friend todd warned me about her state. he said that she was in a lot of pain and that she was swollen. she was...it was tough to see her suffering that way but with a little time and vicadin, she can't have IV meds because they would knock her out, she was able to calm down and talk a bit. she seemed ok for a few hours and then she started hurting again.
as for the procedure, they placed a shunt in her brain and removed part of her skull. she has a titanium plate in her head as a protector where they removed the skull bone. i can't believe that i don't have more details about the actual tumor removal. i'll let you know when i ask my dad later tonite. i completely forgot to ask.
feel free to call her cell and maybe come to visit. she should be a lot better tomorrow.....thanks for praying...it means the world to us...

thank God she came through the surgery ok and now we will pray for a thorough and speedy healing. what an awful ordeal for you all to go through. i hope nina is doing well staying with you guys and being away from mama.
i feel i need to share a story...recently we heard about a man who attends the church we used to go to. he was diagnosed with prostate cancer at a routine check-up and it was already at stage 4 and then they found it had metastasized to his bones. he did not have a good prognosis. well, many many people were praying for him. he has since had surgery to remove the prostate and now they cannot find any other traces of cancer in his body. he doesn't even need radiation/chemo. God is VERY GOOD!
