Surgery went well today and they were able to get ALL of the tumor.
Yep ALL of it! It had a hard shell and had "adhesion" to the areas around it but it had not grown into any parts of the the brain. i.e. the brain stem.
It "looks like" a germ cell tumor and will be sent off for testing.
Surgery was 4.5 hours and he was under from 8:45 am till 4:00pm.
He has woken up and cracked a few jokes, moved everything and seems to be doing very well. The only area of concern is his sight is still blurred but as long as it doesn't last over 2 days his vision should be normal.
First comment while waking up was, "Is it over?"
Thanks be to God. ONE of the many reasons I am thankful today! We are humbled that He has chosen Ethan to do more "good works" for Him. All my love to the entire family. Aunt Ethel
