** Let me start by saying you have all been nothing short of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G with all of your thoughts, kind gestures and mainly PRAYERS! The Love & Support we feel is one of the main reasons I believe Gina will not only be better, but completely cleansed by GODS Hands of any illness! -- Thanks so, So, SO MUCH (Bob)
- The surgery started this morning at @ 6 AM with consultation by DR Jimenez (Truly Gifted surgeon who was guided by Gods Hands)
- Next, came the installation of a metal frame that had to be attached to the skull to prevent movement during procedure (Very painful for Gina, but she is fine now)
- Next, another MRI on site with three surgeons (DR Jimenez- neurosurgeon, DR Schwartz - Radiologist and DR Levan - Physicist)
- Finally - GREAT NEWS!! The surgeons only found one tumor, turns out the other "activity" was an enlarged blood vessel.
- Planning for @ 3 HRS
- The actual Gamma Knife Radio surgery procedure (@ 1 HR) - all went well and doctors confident they killed all bad tumor cells (@ 1 PM)
- RECOVERY - Post Surgery (eat, rest (nap), and monitor activity - GINA, of course, passed with flying colors and gets to go home now (@ 3:45 PM)
- HOME SWEET HOME for Rest/Relaxation
Let me finish tonight's thoughts with the following comment - ALL of the staff from the receptionist and nurses to the three very highly recommended and skilled doctors were not only warm and personal but gave us all their full, undivided attention the whole day - Truly a rarity in today's fast-paced, you're-just-a-number-to-me attitude of most service providers! THANKS again for all of our loving friends, family and especially to the man upstairs who truly does guide our souls to the right places if we let him in! GOD BLESS to all! 8)
