Newest Update...
Jeff is out of surgery and in recovery! Ann and I just met with the surgeon and he said the surgery went great. The surgeon felt that he was able to get the entire tumor, but will do an MRI tomorrow to make sure. The tumor was attached to the Cerebellum but wasn't as close to the brain stem as they had once feared. We should have the pathology report tomorrow or Wednesday.
The doctor said that Jeff was awake and had moved his arms and legs. He also said that he was nauseated and had quite a headache (imagine that!) We are waiting to see him so I will write more later after we get to his room...
