Becca is out of surgery. The great news is it was not a tumor in her spinal cord. If it had been, it would have meant that the tumor in her tail bone was spreading and they would have only given her six months to live.

The not so good news is that it was a lesion and it’s a degenerative type of disease. We don’t have a lot of answers right now which is very hard, but hopefully soon we will know exactly what it going on. She is in ICU and on a ventilator tonight to help her breath. Becca will need to get a LOT of rest. They aren’t saying it is MS, but they believe it’s something in that category. They are starting some other therapy’s with the blood by taking out the antibodies that are basically attacking her nervous system. They aren’t sure if it’s connected in some small way to the tumor in her tail bone or the spots on her brain. They might still do a biopsy of the brain sometime in the future.

I’m holding on and it’s a tough night for me. Please keep praying, He can help.

Becca is still in surgery, she will most likely stay in ICU with the breathing tube until tomorrow. I will post with more info later.

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!

Becca is doing well tonight. She is in ICU and sleeping. They had actually pulled out the breathing tube shortly after getting into the ICU. Becca is in a lot of pain (go figure) but everything went according to plan.

Keep up the prayers… they are working!

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.
