Surgery tomorrow

[HappyChristian]

Please pray for James Neubauer. He is the son of a friend of mine who has had a brain tumor since babyhood. He will be having surgery tomorrow to remove the tumor...a tumor they were once told is inoperable. His mom has a blog that is about his journey with this tumor, if you'd like more information.

Yes. Their family has really been through a major amount of medical problems with their kids. One of her sons had to have open heart surgery when he was a young'n. He's doing great, now though. He's the taller boy in the photos of them in NY. They have 2 other boys, too, who joined them in NY, along with their dad, for the surgery.

God has really upheld her through all of it!

James had to be at the hospital yesterday at 6:30 a.m. Surgery started at around 11:00 a.m. after an MRI that mapped out the brain (the reason for the little circles on his head). The surgery went very well. The surgeons thinks he got about 60-80% out, but won't know for sure until an MRI done today. James woke some just after surgery, but pretty much slept the rest of the night. The next 72 hours are the most important in terms of determining what damage has been done to the hypothalamus and what complications he may have because of it.

They did another MRI today which showed that 70% of the tumor was removed. Dr. Wisoff is very happy with how the surgery went and how James is doing now.

Thanks for your prayers for James. Appreciate continued prayer for recovery and the next steps they have to take.
