Dr. Shelton indicated that Dr. Couldwell has taken out all of the tumor he could get, which is most of it. They still want to run a series of additional tests on the tumor to learn everything they can about it. Dr. Shelton wasn't actually in the operating room while Dr. Couldwell was performing the surgery, so he was giving us basic information. We hope to get more details when we can talk to Dr. Couldwell.
Jodi has been taken to the ICU to begin the recovery process. It will take awhile for her to come out from under the anthesia. They will let us know when we can visit her. We don't know how long that may be.
As we get more of the details from Dr. Couldwell we'll let you know. Dr. Shelton did indciate that the tumor was pressing on nerves that could well have been causing Jodi's dizziness.
Again, thanks for your continued prayers.
