Thank you for allthe prayer and positive thoughts!!
While we are not out of serious danger of complication yet, the 6 hour surgery was a complete success! The hands of God, a very skilled surgeon and crew were able to completely remove the tumor that was 30% percent larger than originally thought and entangled in areas of the brain that cold be manipulated without damage. Now the only danger of major concern, is that one of the large feeder arteries that were supplying the tumor and were tied off could burst, but that chance nearly disappears in about 30 hours from now.
Bottom line--100% of tumor removed along with ZERO % of the brain!
I can't begin to explain the rush of emotion when only 30 minutes after surgey, I went in to see her sleeping and after about 10 seconds she says "Hey Baby", THEN opened her eyes!
She has no loss of memory or function and a CT scan at 4am this morning shows the brain swelling from sugery is already receading.
For some reason I keep hearing an Applebees or Chili's commercial.....I got my baby back, baby back..........But they ain't ribs! YOO HOOOO!!!
Thanks again to everyone here for all the wonderful support,
Rex

Great news, Rex! We'll keep praying--tell her to rest and get better.

Wonderful news Rex. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Rex,
I've been praying for your wife and family since you posted, and I felt so relieved to read your post that the surgery went well. I will continue to pray for her full recovery.

Rex, I'm so glad your wife's surgery went well. I know your Applebee's commercial and yes, you got your baby back!  We wish that her recovery is expeditious so she can get back to doing everyday things she enjoyed before the surgery. Keep us posted. Take care of that wife, you hear!

It is always good to see how many friends we have and to know they are very sincere, you are fortunate to have these friends and the closeness to the lord has been a real earth shaking experience. We will continue to pray as we really do care and keep us posted as you are doing.
A neighbor went to visit another one of our neighbors who is a pentecostal and a very devote Christain, she had a bad headache so the Pentecostal lady placed her hand on this ladies head and prayed the headache would cease. As the lady with the headache left her home she stated her headache had disappeared. We need faith.

She may want to give me a brain tumor in the form of her fist, but here is a pic of her just hours before surgery--She looked the same afterwards. BTW-I think she looks pretty darn good bald!  She continues to improve rapidly and all assesments show NO neurologic impairment! Again, Thank you so much for the prayers and support. Not only do I believe it saved her, I KNOW it saved me! Rex

Yep, she is going to put a know on your head but you know it's worth it because she is around to put it there for you. Someone is smiling down on you.

Rainman, she probably will give you a hard time for posting that pic! I think she looks really pretty even with the short hair....and I'm a female, too. So, you tell her that...we wish her a great recovery, keep us posted during her convalescence and make sure you tell her that I said she looks good!).
