She is out of surgery!

The doctors think they got all of the tumor. She is recovering amazingly well so far, and now we are just waiting to find out if it was cancerous and if she needs any chemo therapy. Its not over yet, but at least they got all of it out! YAY!

Kahlan has a brain Tumor.

So on Saturday March 28th Albert and I got home from our vacation to Monterey California. We went there to set up housing for us for our move on the 13th of April. Albert is still moving on the 13th. As for Kahlan, we picked her and our other 2 kids up from the in-laws, and I noticed that her face wasn't moving right and that she acted like she couldn't see out one her right eye. So I took her into the insta-care in Logan because her dr.'s office was closed. They sent us to the ER in Logan and they took a CT scan and found a mass in the bottom, back of her brain. Then they sent Kahlan and me in an ambulance to Primary Childrens Hospital. They got her on an IV and set up for her to get an MRI on the 29th of March. The MRI showed us more specifically where it is located in her brain. It is in the 4th ventrical which is next to the brain stem. The tumor is an inch by inch and a half in size and it is pressing on her brain stem. In turn causing the facial nerves to be temporarilly paralyzed and for her vision problems. Also for the placement and her age she has a 2 out of 3 chance that it is cancer. So we are praying that she is lucky and is that one out of three that it isnt cancer.

As I write this she is in the Operating room with some amazing nueral surgions. I have faith that they will do what is best for Kahlan and her recovery. We just pray that the surgery goes well and that there is not permenant damage to any part of her brain. After they get the tumor out we will know what will be next for her treatment. We are grateful for all of your paryers and love. I will keep everyone updated when the surgery is over.
