OK - UPDATE TIME: 5:40 p.m. - Tuesday - 1/25/05
At 10:30 her surgery began. The brain surgeon came out at 12:15 and said the tumor was removed successfully! In addition, said the eye surgeon was now going to do his job. At 2:30 the eye surgeon said that all tumors behind her eye were removed successfully! The both surgeries were a success!!!!!!
He told our family that they, at 2:30, were going to finish sutchering her incisions up and they'd be able to talk to everyone in about 2 hrs. As of now, I haven't heard anything yet. But the worst is over!
So far, so good. The CATSITE PHONE to heaven worked it's miracle once again! YAYNow for the coming out of recovery in the ICU.
One step at a time! (Yes, that's me talking to myself!)
Cheryl..Just thought of one thing that may help your sister and ease your family. Your Sis will be on some heavy duty steroids for awhile. They are used post operativley to reduce swelling of the brain. SOME people and by no means is this the majority, experience TEMPORARY mood and personalitiy changes. They may become, moody, sad or even a bit confused. Again this will be temporary! I'm sure the docs and nurses will monitor her for this very carefully.Originally Posted by Mom of Franz

Barbara, you never cease to amaze me. I never knew till now that you're a nurse. No wonder you're so caring. You guys do not nearly get enough of the praise and acknowledgement you are so deserving of. Tonight I am so very tired and sad from crying that I can't think of any questions, although, earlier today I had some in mind. I'll write them down as I remember them to ask tomorrow maybe, thanks!Originally Posted by Mom of Franz

It's been 46 yrs. I don't realy have much hope left that we'll suddenly be closer, no offense, but it's a nice dream I think about alot. As for me being a sweet caring person, well, it sure does take one to know one.Originally Posted by pinkdaisy226
Aw, well no news is good news, right? We'll still keep praying for good news!
I understand the frustration of not getting along with a sibling. But there's still hope... I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you guys are closer!

You are right! She is on steroids and, YES, she is moody, irritable, annoyed, sad, you name it. (On a side note, some of these are part of her personalityOriginally Posted by Mom of Franz
