Andrea's Surgery (#6)

Update#3 (6:39pm)
Sorry for such a delay a computer was not available since my last update. The surgeon came and said he go the tumor it was golf ball size. Andrea did extremely well during surgery. Her recovery period this afternoon in ICU has been really rough because of the extreme pain. After many doses and different kind of meds finally around 3pm they found something that would at least let her rest a bit. She is conscious and talking or I should say whispering, she passes all her neuro exams with flying colors, so no side effects at this point. I left her at 4ish and she was resting, but managed to give me one of her smiles before I left. I can truly say she is a amazing strong determined woman!

Update#2 (10:55am)
The nurse said they were in the process of closing her up and the surgeon would be the next person out to speak to us with a report on how it went.

Update#1 (9:30am)
Andrea was taken back to surgery at 7:30 this morning we just got an update from the nurse saying they started surgery at 8:35am. The surgery could last 4-6 hours.

Last night 18 of us went out to eat at Jillians with Andrea, it was so nice to have that special time with her. Her son Ethan was there and after eating they all played games and everyone hung out talking. We then went back to the hotel and what started as a game with Ethan ended up being a "Handy Manny" memory game between Andrea, me, Kristin, and Brooke!! It's supposed to take 15 minutes but took us well over a half hour!! We place the blame on all the commotion in the hotel room! Thanks for all your prayers and support they mean so much.
