Thursday Afternoon

Becca is in surgery right now to work on her neck. The doctors are worried that the steroids aren’t working and so they need to relieve the pressure on her neck. If they didn’t take her into surgery then she could possibly be on a ventilator by tomorrow. This was a last minute decision to take her into surgery. The surgery should last about 4 hours and hopefully will give her back the mobility in her body and relieve the pressure on her lungs.

Please keep us in your prayers! We need them all! Thanks for all of your continued support!

Wednesday Post-surgery Update

Rebecca is out of surgery! The surgeon reports that he was able to completely remove the tumor (the one at the bottom tip of her spine) without removing bone or nerves! We’re so thankful for this good news!

The doctors are still perplexed with her condition(s) and still working out the next steps in the game-plan to remove or treat the other tumors throughout her body. They promise further results and additonal steps by Friday.

Rebecca will be in ICU over night and they hope to be able to remove her breathing tube shortly.

Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.

Tuesday PM

Rebecca is doing fine and resting well this evening. Her surgery is tomorrow at 8:00 AM. The surgeons will be removing as much of the mass on her tailbone as they can. They plan to keep her in ICU for at least 24 hours as a precautionary measure.

As always, thank you for your prayers and well wishes. Rebecca and I appreciate you all so much!
