Going Home!!! - Shhhhh

I'm stealing a moment to update.  After a really long shower and a lot of encouragement, Amy has finally agreed with the doctors about going home.  We'll leave after her next batch of medications.  The kids are having dinner with grandparents Hull and spending the night with grandparents Smith.  It will still be a few days before she'll be ready for visitors.  We are likely only going to let one or two kids at a time to visit.  She gets overloaded and excited and then doesn't feel well.  When she finally agreed and let it catch on, she was VERY excited!  It took 30 mins before she'd calm down. 

We are so very blessed that everything up to this point that we've prayed for has come true.  With >95% removed, gamma radiation should have no problem taking care of it.  I know the surgeon won't comment before pathology, but a surgery nurse called the mass vascular.  Searching "vascular tumor" returns that it is a rare tumor (<1% of all brain tumors) and is non-cancerous.  We are still praying for this miracle. 

We have had friends and families from various faiths pouring out their hearts to Heavenly Father and it has been obvious.  I waited 12 hours in a waiting room and didn't get anxious or nervous the whole time.  I thank all of you again and again each time I pray.  We may not have many updates until next week, but maybe I can post a few Christmas pics with permission of my dear wife.
