After more than 6 hours of surgery, Mom/Alyce is now in recovery and waking up. She's amazing! Our hero, Dr. Elisevich, met with us and clearly described the surgery from start to finish. He is quite pleased with how things went and was able to remove over 90% of the large tumors. They are now watching to see how she responds and starts moving. We'll get to see her within the next hour, and can't wait to see her sparkly eyes and smile.
She'll be spending the night in the intensive care unit and the goal is then to get her up and moving as soon as possible to prevent complications. We don't know yet how long she'll be in the hospital, but will continue to share updates.
Our heartfelt thanks for your support and kind messages all day -- it really helped us through this long day. Keep them coming!
