Dear Wes and Dana,
Thanks for the prayers! Brad is hobbling around - "tired and weak but recovering". (He's prompting my typing.) The surgery was a success - entire tumor removed completely outside the spinal cord, pathology says totally benign, just huge.
The spine surgeon had to remove 4 inches each of 2 ribs, and part of a third, to reach the tumor. The incision is about nine inches long down the middle of the back...seeing the staples for the first time made even this hardened hospital gal woozy for a minute.
Brad also asks that you join him in thanking our blessed Lord for morphine and Vicodin!
Will send a report in later...time to hit the hay. Poor guy still doesn't get complete rest [and therefore I don't], but it's better than the hospital!! I swear I was starting to see things that weren't there after nights of incessant beeping machines and
people flipping the lights on as they marched in the room.
Happy Easter!
Luv,
Jen and Brad
