Brandon needs prayers again.. Coming HOME!

[Laura's Babies]

Sis just called, Cindy called her. The tumor by Brandon's ear, after being compared to the MRI done in September to the MRI last night, has grown a lot. ....2% of it is in his ear and the rest is on his brain stem. There is no choice, they have to do surgery and are trying to get enough of a surgical team together to do it Monday. The doctor said he is fussy about his surgical team and a lot have left for the holidays so putting a team together is going to be a problem. He isn't sure what kind of tumor it is other than it is fast growing. There is a lot of concern for the part on the brain stem and he is sure he will not be able to get it all but will treat the rest with radiation after removing what he can. Then.... they will address the one on his right frontal lobe. Sis said there probably won't be anymore news until Monday...

I am glad to hear that the doctor is fussy about the team he puts together...Brandon will be in the best hands possible.

All prayers possible that all goes well; many hugs to Brandon and his family.

Catty1 is right; the fact that the dr. is fussy about his surgical team is a good sign. Brandon is always in my prayers and is never far from my thoughts and neither are you, Laura. We're praying for a Christmas miracle. Keep the faythe.

Surgery is 7 am in the morning (Monday, Dec.22). The doctor is extreemly concerned about the outcome... PRAY PLEASE!

[Catty1]

All my prayers are all yours.

Whatever happens, I hope that Brandon is comfortable. I know the surgeons will do their utmost.

God was able to clear the weather and open the way so that Brandon could get to the hospital and now God is guiding the hands of the surgeons so that the outcome will be a positive one. Every cell, tissue, organ, muscle and bone are responding to the healing power w/in Brandon. The surgeons know what to do, how to do it and they're getting it done quickly, easily and in peace.

Brandon is out of surgery (surgery lasted under 6 hours). He had a lot of bleeding and swelling on the brain and they could only get a small amount of the tumor out because it is comletely wrapped around the brain stem... The doctor told them, the harmless tumors do not grow that fast.. They may still need to take him back to surgery if the bleeding and swelling continues. They had to give him blood during surgery. It is wait and see now, keep the prayers coming!

Sis said she was unaware but he was having some paralysis before surgery, she only learned that today. She made it to the hospital but didn't get there beforethey took him to surgery, said they could only go 20mph the whole way due to the weather..
