Surgery was over at noon. Dr. said he got out at least 90% of the tumor. It was a very large tumor that had been growing for many years. It had a lot of involvement with arteries and he worked 2 hours with a microscope to remove as much as he could without causing a stroke. 2 small spots remain and she will be monitored for any regrowth. If that would occur, they could use the gamma-knife for removal.
She is still asleep and so we don't know if there are any effects from the removal of the tumor. She is being moved to ICU, which is normal after brain surgery.
More when we know more.
