Hi all you nice people. Erika had one small seizure last night while she slept, but she did not lose much speech functionality at all and did extremely well on her neurological tests this morning. They expect to receive the pathology report sometime today, but again - they are 85% sure this was a low-grade 1 or 2 tumor - which means they usually declare those benign and do not require any additional treatment. They have no reason to believe that it is cancerous. I'll post when I hear something on this.
But, on a positive note: They are sending her home! This is terrific news, and we are all very relieved. I've had to do quite a bit of work the last few days, including a 1/2 nighter last night till 4am. It'll be nice to actually sleep in a real bed beside my lovely wife and be able to cook meals, etc. Can't believe this is our 9th day in the hospital. Aimee arrived from UT last night, and I'm not sure if she knows what she's gotten herself into by agreeing to stay at our house and help out....
I know I've said this before, but our hearts are really overflowing with gratitude towards all of you visiting here and those who have helped and offered to help. Thank you.
Let the celebrations begin!!!
GREAT NEWS!! MAYBE NOW YOU CAN FINALLY GET THE REST YOU BOTH SO DESPERATELY NEED.
