Mark here. Kristina came out of surgery at around 5:30pm today and she's doing well. She's awake and speaking but in need of some rest.
Our surgeon, Dr. L., informed us that he debulked the tumor successfully. Next we wait for the pathology of what he removed to find out if most of the swelling had to do with her radiation over the summer or new tumor tissue. Due to the quick abatement of her speech problems with the steroids, we're hoping it's the former.
I'm at home right now decompressing and plan to visit Kristina first thing in the morning. She will likely be moved from the neuro critical care unit to a step-down ward at that time as well. I have a good feeling that she will be home
by Friday!
