trying to make sense of something like this is impossible. when my dad was diagnosed, i bought the book 'when bad things happen to good people' by harold kushner. it helped me tremendously to come to grips with what was going on. i know there's a barnes & noble bookstore right by mayo's - it's a small book - but it has some powerful words & messages that might help you & julie.

i was just up there with my mom a month ago - wish we were there now to help give you more support.

Today we saw the Neurosurgeon and were given a much brighter forecast. He feels the tumor is 100% removable because it is far enough away from the spinal cord, and feels it will be one of the lower graded tumors. When he told us this, we had a tremendous relief come over, because after seeing the first doctor I was preparing for the long battle with chemotherapy.

By all means we are not out of the woods, but the Doctor had an arrogance about him that made me feel quite confindent. Thursday will be her MRI on the spine and Friday morning will be the surgery. You wouldn't be able to tell she's sick by looking at her, but she has a wonderful mother that knows when to insist on further medical care. We feel the early detection is going to be huge in this whole process.

Dakota.....that is VERY good news! And the doctor......my heart surgeon was the SAME way! A VERY nice man, who had confidence just flowing out of him. Made me feel i was in good hands. And obvously, my confidence in him was correct.
We will keep praying!!!

An update for PH... just passing it along for those keeping tabs.

Surgery is completed & the doc is pretty sure he got all of the tumor out. The tumor is cancerous so we will need to do radiation & chemo, just not sure when that will all start. It all depends on how she recovers. They will do an MRI tomorrow to verify it's all out.

Dakota, your daughter will be fine. Not a doubt in my mind. She may grow up with a goofball as a dad, but that's about it.

The surgery going well is only the first of many happy updates.
