Hi everyone, this is Debbie's sister Alison. Just wanted to let you know that Debbie is out of surgery. They were able to get 100% of the tumor and the doctor says that all went well! He said he was able to get out all of the tumor, and burn off the little bit against the sagittal sinus.
Debbie arrived around 6am, was wheeled into the OR at 8:30. They told us that they began the procedure at 10am, the microscope part of the surgery at 11am, and she was out just before 4pm.
When she was in Recovery, the doctor said Debbie asked him to tell our mom and me that, "The people down here sound like them." He said she may not make sense at first but that will come back quickly. He said she may have weakness on the right side but she should be back to normal in a couple of days.
She will be in ICU tonight and a day or so then they will see if Debbie needs any physical therapy to bring back the strength of her right side.
Debbie or I will be back here to provide an update once there's more information.
