We'll MARCH forward

For those reading this who are not near the OHIO River and I know that those in MO are used to all of this stuff with the mighty MO and the MS Rivers also, but this has been our news for the last couple of days and there is more yet to come according to the weather predictors.

Our news however, 

We had a surgical consult today in Columbus.
The news is  another surgery Friday, March 2nd at 0730
The swelling they cannot be for sure what it is, tumor or something else.
Even with a MRI they could only be 60% confident as to what the spot they
are seeing is.  Was this a surprise to them?   NO.   They say that 15% of folks
have re-occurrence within 6 months IF I remember correctly.
The swelling has displaced his brain a bit again and is/can cause problems
We were very blessed today to have one of Dave's brothers, Don, take us and give
up a day of other things he could have done.  We we also very blessed to have the
girls in the Neuro-Oncology dept schedule our Pre-op things, blood work, CT,
questions and various other things, today.  They got it fixed to work us in and
it all happened in the course of 3 hours.  God is so good.

As I said the surgery is scheduled for 0730 March 2 with a 0530 show.  That means
we will be heading to Columbus, OH on Thursday afternoon/early evening so as to
be there.  We think it will be a 5 day stay but that is all dependent on lots of things
I will be able to be in ICU again with him as before and also in the room.

Not much else here except Thanks so much for all your continued prayers.  There are not
words to tell you how thankful  we are.  That is what is keeping us able to cope with all that we are learning.

Thanks again   Most likely no more info until after the surgery on March 2 but I will post an update as soon as I am able. 

Dave and Judy
