Chris sent a brief post-surgery update tonight before collapsing into bed. Everyone's tired from a long day so we'll work on getting more details tomorrow, but here's what the last few hours after surgery have revealed:
The surgery went really well, but Chloe had lots of seizures after the procedure. They have them under control now. She's been able to hear, understand and respond. She was able to move and did okay with movement tests. It will be at least a couple days before we can start to see how her seizures are doing. She's not in pain and is now sleeping.
They ended up getting a lot more of the tumor than they expected. It was white and fibrous as opposed to soft with blood vessels. We'll have to wait for a pathology report for more on the tumor they removed.
In other news, Chloe's younger sister Amelie (turns 5 on May 19) has been staying with Auntie Fleur this week including trips to the park, time at the PUC swimming pool and playing with our two Cocker Spaniels, Cooper and Lola, as well as her own chihuahua Miles. The day before her surgery, Chloe went to Great America for American Cancer Society "Courageous Kids Day" so Amelie got to visit Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo. When she got home, she was able to hop on Skype for a quick video chat with Chloe before surgery.
More updates are coming and Chloe's family wants to thank everyone for all the love, prayers and support!
