We made it to Lost Angles by getting lost only once for about 1/2 hour. We got in about midnight so we are a little tired tonight.
Praise report! We were informed that will we be responsible for about $100 instead of the $10,000 + we were orginally told that would be our share of cost.
Ben's has gone from appointment to appointment today. We are going out to dinner then early to bed. Tomorrow is the big day.
There will be a team of 5 doctors and the anesthesiologist for the surgery. They will be starting about 1 PM PST with the surgery lasting 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
Thank you for all your prayers.

I was calm all through the surgery, I could feel all the prayer coming our from everyone. Thank you to all for your prayers and freepmail.
Thank you for your prayers.
He gets his stitches out tomorrow and they are releasing us to drive home on Saturday. This is WAY to soon in my medical opinion. He is already battling me as to what he is permitted to do. I wasn't able to be there when he was discharged, so I have many questions. I will be asking them while they are taking out the stitches.
We will be going to my brothers to stay for a few days. He is about an hour south of here with moderate traffic. I don't feel comfortable traveling long distances only one week after brain surgery. The doctors have informed all the families that if the patient starts leaking CSF from the ear or nose just bring them in.
Thank your for all your support and prayers.

There were adhesions from the tumor onto his auditory nerve. The doctors now believe that he could be deaf in that ear due to them having to cut the adhesions from his auditory nerve. His eardrum is still full of blood from the surgery so they won't know for sure for another month or two.
He is still having equilibruim problems, but this is to be expected. When he turns his head the world does this weird tilt/slant thing.
Prayer to the kids in Texas, the burned baby and all the others, makes my problems seem small.
