8hrs and 1min

Well, just after Lex's last post Dr. Harsh came out to see us. Everything went really well! She is still in surgery, they are closing her up and replacing the piece of bone they removed from the skull. She will get wheeled by us at around 5:30 and then we should be able to see her around 6:30 in ICU. They were able to remove 99-100% of the tumor and it looked to be a typical benign, non-cancerous, acoustic neuroma. The facial nerve is 100% in tact which is fantastic news. Dr. Harsh was not optimistic that she would retain her hearing in her left ear after the procedure. We are all so relieved and thankful that the procedure was successful! I will post my next update when we get the drive by! Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts, it looks like they were answered!
