Update-3/18

It's done! Dr. Orlandi is confident that he was able to remove the entire tumor (will know for sure in a couple of months). Just as he suspected may happen, there was a small spinal fluid leak when he removed the tumor from the bone in front of the brain. Somehow he managed to "glue" a membrane down to cover the leak and now I get the spend the next 3 weeks hoping it holds. I am not to bend or lift anything heavier that a gallon of milk. They don't even want me to suck through a straw...but IT IS DONE! YEAH! We confident that I will heal a bit more every day and that we are nearing the end of this jouney. The love and support shown me and my family was overwhelming. Much love.
