surgery went well

just a very quick update. more later.

my mom's surgery went very well. according to the doc, he was able to remove the entire tumor - everything that is "radiographically visible". there will still be follow up treatment, but we don't know what yet.

unfortunately, she's still waiting for a bed in ICU. she's in recovery and they won't let us see her until she is in ICU, which could be a couple more hours. we did hear from the nurse in recovery that she's talking and moving around, although confused (normal for surgery.)

once we've seen her and know more, we'll let everyone know. the next 24 hours is crucial to make sure she's comfortable, no infections, no swelling, etc. so keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

thanks for all the light and love.
