Mark is doing very well! The surgeon was able to remove the entire tumor and save the facial nerve. Unfortunately, the tumor encapsulated the auditory nerve, so he lost all hearing in his left ear. He's still in ICU, but is alert and moving around a little bit. Obviously, he has the world's worst headache, but the pain medication seems to be helping a little bit with that. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, we all appreciate the good thoughts. I'll try to post a bit more in the coming days. I head back home tomorrow morning.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-87418156982424169762008-05-20T17:38:00.000-07:002008-05-20T17:38:00.000-07:00You and your brother are in my thoughts and prayer...You and your brother are in my thoughts and prayers, Les.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857602206725562335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-2587659705130543522008-05-20T07:41:00.000-07:002008-05-20T07:41:00.000-07:00I am thinking of you and brother.

I have a blog (www.threecurlygirlies.blogspot.com) if you would like to contact me-if I can be of ANY help to you or your brother during this time, please feel free to contact me. Sometimes it helps to just talk to someone who has been there. Also, you can see what a GREAT life I have now, 12 years after surgery!<BR/>I will be praying for your brother and all of your family during this time.<BR/>KayKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760617356172052436noreply@blogger.com
