Update!

Grandma had the surgery to remove the brain tumor yesterday.  The surgery took about 2 hours and the neurosurgeon was able to remove 75% of the tumor. Although, she has not been seen by the neuro-oncologist yet, most likely she will receive radiation and chemotherapy to treat the remaining tumor.  Unfortunately, the tumor is malignant but we are continuing to pray for healing!

Grandma has been so calm and relaxed throughout this whole journey.  As she puts it, "If I am unable to be here on earth with my family, then I will be in Heaven with my family."  I can only pray that my faith continues to develop as strongly as hers!  I visited Grandma in ICU yesterday and she was doing great! She looked fabulous for just having had brain surgery and she had her usual spunk.  She was even cracking jokes!  Today,  she was moved out of ICU to the Neurology floor. She is in quite a bit of pain today but that is to be expected.

Our prayers were answered that she successfully made it through surgery. She will have a long journey ahead of her but her strength is never ending so we know that she is fighter!  We love her so much and the kids love their Great Grandma so we would love it if she could be with us for more years to come!

The kids have been so well behaved during visits!  Leap pad's have been a blessing :)

And on another note, Christian has his first baseball practice for the season!  It was a short practice since the weather didn't want to cooperate but we are still excited to watch the Cubs play this summer!
