Surgery was scheduled for 11 AM today. At 9:30 they came and got Marc from his room to take him down to pre op. What seemed like hours later, it was time to go. The surgery started around 1:30 (after 2 hours of prep time) and lasted about three hours. We were called to meet with the doctor who reported that he was waking up and doing well. He was optimistic that he had removed all of the tumor. They would be sending a tumor tissue sample off to pathology and it will be a few days before we hear the results. In the meantime, Marc is resting well, a little fiesty (but whats new), and seems to have good movement in his right side. He is talking (and cussing) and we are all hopeful.
Tomorrow is a new day and they will do an MRI in the morning. We will start talking about the game plan and what course of action to go from here, but for now we are thankful that God watched over him during surgery and the surgeon didn't remove the humor gene!
