Surgery

Kyla's surgery was Tuesday the 14th and she came through fine. After another MRI before surgery Dr. Kunwar was concerned because the enhancement in the left frontal lobe had enlarged since two weeks ago. To clarify, this enhancement is in the old area from four years ago. So he cleaned it out as well as another spot on the right side (the area that was operated on in January). The preliminary pathology looks like abnormal cells but won't know for sure until next Thursday when the final report is back. If indeed it is progression they will discuss chemo as the next step.

So as far as Kyla feels she is still in ICU until the drain tube is taken out and is somewhat confused from the swelling but that should get better in a little time. I stayed in ICU the first night and Kelli stayed last night so I am off to the hospital now to relieve her. Thank you everyone for all the prayers and wishes.
