2nd Brain Surgery

Mon- Surgery- Our fam was able to be there for Micah's surgery (which was about 6 hours) and how great to have so many there! The initial pathology report is that all the Dr Yaun took out was dead cancer cells, blood, scar tissue (we will get the rest of the report back early next week). Praise the Lord!! Due to the fact that everything Dr Yaun was sending to the lab was coming back with no tumor in it she left the remainder of "stuff" around some main blood vessels because taking it out would be more risky and cause major left sided weakness
Tues- CT Scan - Looked great, no abnormal swelling and we were able to be moved from ICU back to our usual, 4 Yellow- Hematology
Wed- MRI - Showed that Dr Yaun was able to get about 1/2 of the "stuff" out. And coffee with friends- what fun =)
Thurs- EEG (which we are still waiting to do) Micah has been doing these jerky motions for the last 2 days just when he is trying to sleep which wakes him(he is not really sleeping well or long at all - we are all very tired). So they are doing this test to make sure everything is okay. His docs seems to think it is from exhausten and that it will go away after a day or two. We are praying it goes away soon as well as his fever. If everything goes well we will be coming home tomorrow, on Micah's 2nd B-day!
Next Week- the 4th round of chemo should start by next Wed

Wanted to give a quick update, sorry it has taken so long, we have had our hands full this week but are very thankful for how well surgery went and Micah's progress. God has been gracious to us and continues to provide strength and mercy for each new day!!
Thanks again for your prayers. Many of you have communicated that you are thinking of us and praying for us, we just can't thank you enough or tell you how encouraging it is!!
Love to All,
Luke & Kriscinda, Braet, Micah and Cianne (coming soon!!)
