Karen's In ICU

The surgeon just talked to us and Karen is doing fine. He said she is a little weak on her left side. He thinks this will come back as she begins to wake up more. There were no surprises and he was able to get a good sample of the tumor. He also said he was guessing he was able to remove around fifty percent of the tumor, but did not go chasing the "dots" as he called them. He mainly focused on the most aggresive part of the tumor and that was the plan all along. The biopsy will be sent off and we will wait again to figure out the best treatment from here. He felt like it was a grade 4 like they thought based on all things he saw during surgery. This is still one of the better scenarios or considered good news. They were just hoping to get a biopsy safely and if it was safe enough, he would remove what he could. I will let you know when we see her.
