PRAISE THE LORD, we have wonderful news to report!!
After 10 hours of surgery, (it was an hour longer than I thought), the surgeon told us they were able to remove 95% of Nikki’s tumor. Much more than they’d hoped! He walked into the family waiting room, pointed right at our oldest girl and exclaimed with a smile, “I’ve been hearing about u all day long!”
He told us that Nikki was unbelievably strong during this grueling surgery. A true warrior. The prayers on this thread helped her, we know this. God bless you, and I hope that enough people watch this thread for updates so they hear this glorius news as well!
I stayed with Nikki last nite in the ICU, and we prayed and gave thanks to God. She is in a good deal of pain and discomfort now, but that is to be expected.
I should note that this is the first step, and it exceeded or expectations. Pathology will come in on Monday, but brain tumors always come back unfortunately. Our dr told us that the goal of survey is to push back the recurrence possibly a decade
But for now, hallelujah! :)
Praise God..Prayers continue for Nikki’s pain relief and recovery..She is a very brave lady..and may God bless you all.
