Dr Tracy just talked to us. Lisa is out of the O.R. She is not awake just yet. He told us that he took about 3.5 inches X 1 inch (thick) on one part(central?) and 1/4 inch (cubed) on her lateral lobe. He did say that she is weak on her right side, which is common from this type of procedure. It is the same affect as if she had a slight stroke. Which is possible (this was one of the risks). She will need to be monitored and if she continues to have problems, she will need to have an MRI in the next few days. If there was a stroke, she will need to stay here several more days.
We will be able to go see her in an hour or so. The operation took 3 hours.
Please pray for complete recovery. Dr Tracy was very nice and answered our questions. We will pray that she will recover fully and be able to come home to recover, early next week.
ok -- so now i get this comment thing!

Lisa,Karla,Amy,Karen,I have just been given the blog address so I can check IT daily now instead of waiting for chari to tell mom and mom to tell me..a couple of us, sometimes, are little slow with this tech stuff, but we get there. Even though we are slow, you have been in our hearts and prayers everyday. Just wanted to let you know that...so take care of yourselves and each other and we will read how things are going. I read the note from mom to you..she has so many memories when time is right I'd like to sit with her and you all and hear some more. So I'll leave for now with that..GOD Bless! Kim and Taija

ReplyDeleteYou are in my daily prayers & I ask God to heal you. You are such a sweetie. I've had brain surgery & still take a lot of medicine. That's the easy part. Get well honey.
