Thursday 4:45 p.m.

Well, as my earlier post stated, we got to come home. The discharge papers came through around 11:30 and she was showered and ready to go on the curb at 11:50! She's resting right now. Axle is laying down with her to keep her company. Casey stopped by and brought some compost. He said that he didn't bring flowers, but what he brought should grow all kinds. Mom really enjoyed his visit and he toned things down a little so she didn't laugh too hard. We're just going to take it easy and let God do the rest. When the surgeon visited this morning he told that the MRI showed that they got 100% of the tumor. There were no strength deficits or any other motor symptoms resulting from the surgery, and aside from a headache and new hairstyle, she's not had any other adverse effects from the surgery. They've given us a list of things to watch out for and explicit instruction for visitors to prevent infection. Our next appointment is next Friday and we'll meet with both the neurosurgeon and the neuro-oncologist. The stitches should come out at that visit, as well. We're well on our way to a full recovery! God is good!
