It’s notta tuma – for real September 8, 2005

Update on Mike’s Brain Tumor:

Our meeting with the neurosurgeon yesterday went well. He said it may or may not be a tumor. Right now he is calling it a small mass near the back of the brain. It’s not swollen, it’s not pushing on anything, and Mike has no symptoms (the cluster headaches are unrelated). He recommended doing nothing for now and coming back for another MRI in 3 months. Until then we just need to keep an eye out for weird symptoms. Mike’s mom recommends we get a second opinion just to be sure, so we are looking into that. If anyone knows any good neurosurgeons who work with PHP, let us know :)

If you were one of the many out there praying for Mike: Thank you! Please keep it up; we’re not out of the water yet, but we are definitely out of the deep end.

The new job is going well. I have three weeks worth of their accounting work to catch up on, so I had better get back to it. I’ll keep you posted.
