Heather came out of surgery about 30 minutes ago. The tumor was the length of a dollar bill and pretty deep. There were no problems with bleeding, and she’s moving her arms and legs. She’s currently in recovery and not not off anesthesia yet. As soon as she is, they’ll put her in the ICU and then she’ll be there for about 24 hours. They’re not sure what her speech is like yet - Mark and her mom are waiting for her to wake up and then they’ll know more.
Thank you for your prayers, keep praying.

I just spoke to Mark and Heather is still in surgery. The surgeons expected her to be done between 7:30 and 8 (Florida time). At the moment she is still under the scope and Mark will call me as soon as they’re done.

I just spoke to Darlene, Heather’s mom. Heather went back to surgery about 1pm. She gave a smile as they wheeled her away.
The surgeon said that it would take about an hour to open her skull and an hour to close it. It will take around 2 hours to remove the tumor. They did end up shaving four little circles on her head that she was unprepared for. LOL
Darlene said she would give me a call when she heard anything else. They were off to take Emma to the park to let her run around and swing, her favorite thing.
I will update as soon as i know more. Promise. And keep on praying!!
