Howdy all!
3 years ago, a tumor was found deep in Decah's inner ear. She, immediately, wanted it removed, but the doctors recommended against its removal. One reason being, she would lose hearing in that ear, and facial nerve damage could occur. We watched the tumor, and it didn't change the first 2 years. However, this past year, it grew, slightly, alarming her doctors! They immediately wanted to remove it. Everything finally fell into place, allowing us to have the tumor removed. She went into surgery this morning, at 7:30, and will be in surgery for 6-8 hours. It is a very delicate surgery!
She will lose hearing in that ear, and could face possible nerve damage on the same side of the face.
She entered surgery with a very positive attitude, wanting to get all of this behind her!
The staff, here at UT Southwestern Medical Center, has been super! I get hourly phone calls from the staff in the OR, updating me on her condition, and progress, in surgery. She will be in ICU, overnight, and probably moved to a room, where she will spend 3-4 days.
As I get more information, I'll share it with all of you.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!
