Quick Update on Todd

It has been a really long day but here is a quick update for all of our amazing praying friends.

Todd is out of surgery and doing well. He started out the day with a cool new haircut down in Radiology then had a ruff and very painful pre-surgery procedure. Due to the issues he had I was able to go back to see him one last time before surgery. His brain surgery was textbook and they were able to remove the entire tumor. He is going to remain in the recovery room all night because of the continuous aftercare that he is going to need (ICU was full). He is in great care tonight... his nurse John (who I just love) goes to swimming class with us and knows my Dad - they always take really good care of their own up there. Thank you everyone for all the prayers and well wishes. A special thanks to my amazing family for the all the child care and help, also to my sister Jessi for the wonderful Olive Garden for dinner in the waiting room, John Groves for stopping bye to check on us, Krista Beach for the uplifting texts throughout the surgery that helped so much, Michele for babysitting during pre-surgery for me and the meals-on-wheals she provided, the Johnstons for having your nurse friend stop in to check on Todd and let us know you were thinking of us (only time I cried all day), my Grandparents for the amazing dinner they dropped off the last night and for my friend Sue who is providing dinner on the day Todd comes home from the hospital.
