John is out of surgery. The pathology department said that the tissue is viable and will be diagnostic. We should know the outcome either tomorrow or Friday.
Since the tumor was on the periphery, right above the ear, the surgery was not nearly as extensive as last week's surgery. "Small incision with minimum brain disturbance", Dr. Wills said. So, he will be given a room in the Brain and Spinal Care unit, not in ICU.
So, this is good news. We will see John very soon.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers and efforts on John's behalf.

John--
Glad to hear you made it through round two in good shape. Laurie said you looked good although a bit worn but if that is the worst that 2 surgeries to your head can do you are hanging tough. I'll be by to see you soon but please remember we are there to help all of you.
