The neurosurgeon just saw Mom & Dad. The MRI from last night revealed two tumors in the back of Mom's head - one about the size of a golf ball and one smaller. The location of the larger one is causing the headaches, equilibrium and nausea. They can be removed surgically, and Mom & Dad have decided to have the surgery this afternoon at 4. The neurosurgeon plans to remove the smaller one first, then the larger. Both will be biopsied for further evaluation. He expects Mom will be in the hospital for 3-5 days, possibly longer depending on the amount of rehab she needs.
The results from the CT scan of Mom's chest/abdomen/pelvis has not been read by a radiologist yet because it was done so late last night. They expect to hear about that later today.
Praying for all of you, Michelle. Keep us posted.
