An OR nurse just visited with me. The surgery didn't actually begin until 9:10 a.m. When the nurse was making rounds at 9:45, there was still no tissue removed.
We don't expect to hear anything until 11:50 or noon.

January 2008
Beloved and gentle husband, daddy, son, brother, friend, co-worker and neighbor who battled brain cancer -- a glioblastoma in the brain stem that we call Spot. That Damm Spot was released with Steve's peaceful passing on September 7, 2009.

The photo of the two of you has permanent residence on my computer desktop today. Just as a reminder...as if it is really needed. Hard to think of anything besides you two right now.
