Last night and this morning.

It was hard to see her last night. She was obviously in a lot of pain. She can't really control her eyes yet and she couldn't speak. Both are side effects we were warned about and are supposed to be temporary. I wanted so much to take her place and remove this struggle from her.

While she is in nuero critical care(NCC) I can't really stay with her at night so I came home to get some sleep after the looooong day yesterday. I called the nurse and he said that she had a good night and that her abilty to move her eyes had improved slightly.

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.

They are closing right now. Then they'll move her to Neuro Critical Care and come talk to us.

Update 11:00

I went for a walk after I posted the last update and ran into her anesthesiologist. He told me that they had just finished putting the drain in hear head so they coul monitor her brain fluids and that they where just about to jump into the heart of the surgery. He said she was doing Good.
