Update on Stef:
The 7 hour-plus surgery went well, according to the surgeon. He believes they managed to get most of-if not all- of the main tumor, as well as one of the smaller ones visible in the surgical field. This leaves two small lesions that will be dealt with via laser, chemo, or radiation. But for the next 4-6 weeks her job is to recover from this surgery. She still is struggling with speech (she has Yes, No, Thank You, Right??!? down solid) and seems to be unable to swear at the moment… 😜😜
She also has a bit of a deficit on the right side (shuffled gate in right foot, difficulty lifting right arm.)
Tomorrow she will be moved to a regular room and continue her speech therapy and occupational therapy visits. She and Melissa are forever grateful for the good wishes and support. We will post updates as things progress.
