After ten hours of poking and prodding the doctors discovered that it was not a tumor but in fact an aneurysm with a blood clot smack in the middle. They had originally though aneurysm, but then the angiogram displayed some sort of "mass" so then they thought tumor, or perhaps a tumor with an aneurysm. I mean they were pulling words out of their hats, grasping at straws, shooting off at the mouth before they knew anything.
She hasn't woken up yet and is expected to sleep well into tomorrow. I wouldn't want to be the doctor who has to tell her this. That they can't do
anything. She has to live with a ticking time bomb. They don't know how lucky they are that she is confined to the bed,
on her face for two weeks.
I'm done talking about this today. Now for some pictures:

i'm so sorry.
i read the post you recommended. it's really hard to believe, with all the money that's paid for the best medical education, that doctors can be so frustrating.
i'll be praying
Jenn, I'll be faithful to pray for her. Sorry.
sad. I'm sorry Jenn. :( I'll be praying.
Oh my. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, I am so sorry about the aneurysm. This is a tough thing to live with. Like you said a ticking time-bomb...YOu know, doctors don't know sometimes a lot of things - I have seen it in my own family.
It stinks...
Some great pictures you took :)
Thank you all, you're so very sweet. l
