what is this blog about?

On June 18th 2010, Katrina went in to have an MRI done so the doctors could try to figure out why she was getting dizzy. What they found was a medulloblastoma (Brain Cancer) tumor between her fourth ventricle and cerebellum.

This blog is a journal for Her, and Her Husband, Scott, as they face this together.

7:50 Update

Katrina is out of surgery. The Tumor was very vascular so it bled quite a bit which slowed the surgery down. We'll get the pathology report Wednesday to find out what kind of tumor it is and where we go from here. She is already awake and responding to simple commands. The breathing tube is out and they don't think they'll need to put her in a coma. All in all the prognosis sounds really good. It has been a long day and I can't wait to see my wife. We should be able to go see her in half an hour to an hour.

Thank you to everyone all over who has held a vigil with us today. It has meant a lot to log in and see the constant flow of comments from all over the world showing support for us.

  4. Scott...I'm so glad that you've been able to keep updating Katrina's status. I have been thinking about her all day and keeping a prayer and a positive thought. It's wonderful to hear that she is doing well and that things look good. Hang in there and just know that God has His hand in this. Please give Maureen my love too. I know this is difficult for her too. Theresa
