Your estimate was right: above three inches above her left ear. The tumor is 2 centimeters in diameter- not huge, but right in the speech zone. Also some right sided motor skill activity there (Nikki is right-handed).
It was so surreal to hug her this morning and watch her then walk away down the long hall with her nurse.
Some rifts in our family have been set aside and everyone is either at or en route to the hospital. This thread itself brought Nikki much happiness last night, as I was tearfully reading it to her. We then prayed and read beautiful and hopeful bible verses of Christ Jesus healing the sick.
Will post more updates as the nurse updates us. How do I “update all” in this thread? I really want to keep everyone who prayed in the loop...
You’re doing fine on updating all.
Everyone who cares will read all the thread or scan for your name authoring a post. The ‘all’ function does not work.
Thanks for your kind reply.
OK, soooo a bit less than an inch . . . probably not a sphere . . . did they say how thick?
No biggy. The GREAT PHYSICIAN IS ON THE CASE.
I assume 2cm would mean they don’t need to take out a hugely big section of the skull to do the work??
I hope they have in-ear earphones for her so she can hear what they need her to hear but not everything else. LOL.
At least, that would be my preference. LOL.
What an adventure.
May God’s thick mercy, wholeness, healing, chase after her every moment of the way, in Jesus’ Name.
Thanks for the update.
Lord, God, we lift up every family member . . . and every relationship in this family.

Please, Lord, bring the relationships to a model of Biblical health as well as Nikki’s brain, in Jesus’ Name.
