Out of surgery.

there are absolutely no words to describe what today has been. More emotions at any given moment than I knew were possible, followed by numbness. more fear than I ever want to feel again, sadness, tears, anxiety, panic, meltdowns, hope, hopelessness, strength, weakness, impatience, anger, thankfulness, just to name a few. We are incredibly exhausted, but the adrenaline and cortisol are still flooding our systems, and unable to sleep yet.

Over a thousand texts and messages through out the day, and so, so many prayers. We were overwhelmed, but incredibly thankful. We will be going through emails and messages as we can, and will respond where needed.

Surgery lasted over 10 hours. The doctor had a hard time getting the last part of the tumor out, and it added a few extra hours. Finally, he was able to get most of it out. While she's not completely out of the woods yet, we are praying that the worst is behind her. She will be in ICU for the next few days, and will possibly need some rehabilitation. They're expecting her to have some weakness on her right side, but not expecting it to affect speech or memory.

In about a week, will know if it's benign or not. That will obviously be the deciding factor on the next course of action.

Thank you again for all of your love, support and prayers.

Oh, and to add another element to this crazy day....today is Makenley's 1st Birthday!
