12:33 PM
Tamara is in surgery. All vital signs are good.
When Tamara arrived in the hospital parking lot she did her
balancing exercises, and twirled around with a big smile on her face and there
was her brother Nathan. He drove from Utah and surprised her at the hospital at
6:00 am. David's mother also arrived. Tamara and David are surrounded by loved
ones.
The doctors did tests and blood work and Tamara went for
walks while she waited. Dorene braided her hair into eight braids parted down
the place where Tamara's scare is, so the doctor would not have to cut Tamara's
hair. Anesthesiologist said her tumor was not as large as the one when she
hemorrhaged, but there are two spots that are worse. The tumor had almost
filled the cavity where she had the tumor in the first place nine years ago.
6:22 PM
Tamara is alive and waking up. She is in recovery. The
surgery went well. She can move her fingers and toes and can speak. The surgery
took nine hours. The tumor was crowding Tamara's brain. There was a great deal
of pressure. The doctor went as deep as he could without ruining her cognitive
ability.
Her husband David will be staying the night in her room.
Their son Isaac went home with David's mother who came to care for Isaac. Tamara's
brother Nathan is on his way back to Utah. Dorene went home to rest the night.
