lol at you guys and your washers.
Mom is out of surgery safely. She had a pitutary tumor removed 4 years ago- and has been on hormone replacement ever since. They expected this to be another one. they knew something was odd going in though. it was a meningeoma though- a tumor that usually grows near the skull/outer protective layers of the brain. The odd thing is that this type of tumor was growing in the pitutary area/cavity and was wrapped around the left optic nerve, hence her recent vision loss. She might regain back some of that vision! it is a wait and see. We are waiting in ICU to see her. It's been a long 13 hours, since 6am. She is doing well though the nuero said. they are sending off the tumor for other opinions, since it is an odd case. these tumors are almost always benign, which hers was too. but it still did its damage.
she will remain on her hormone therapy and anti seizure drugs now too.
she is really going to look forward to this cruise now more than ever!!!!
thanks for all the prayers and pixie dust- it worked!!!!
I'm glad she is finally out of surgery and doing well. I look forward to meeting her on the cruise!!
It was already on top when I posted!
If you are all good, I'll tell you
