Update as of 12:00PM

I accompanied Karen to the Operating Room at 12:00PM where we were able to meet with the two surgeons. Everyone so far has been really great (Nurses are the best!).

The good news righy now is that the head surgeon says that he expects her to be no worse than she is right now in the long run. This is actually really good because she is doing really well. You wouldn't know she had a 5 centimeter mass in her cute little head if it weren't for the pictures.

The back side of the tumor is located near the speach center of the brain so this is where they are going to spend most of their time. The rest of the tumor is located in a part of the brain that is much easier to work in so they expect that part of the surgery should go faster.

The surgery should take about 6 hours. I'll let you all know how things are going as we find out. Thank you all for your prayers.

We love you all.
