Good News

The surgeons just came in to see us and Carmen is doing fine and is in recovery. Here's what we know: Her facial nerve is intact and is conducting electrical impulses but it will be a day or two before we know if there is any paralysis so keep the prayers coming for that. Her auditory nerve was stretched very thin and the doctors were surprised that she had the hearing she did (prior to surgery). There is a blood supply to the nerve but it'll be a day or two before we know whether or not there is hearing loss. Keep praying about that! She will be moved into ICU in a couple of hours and will be there 2 days. The surgeons were able to remove the entire tumor, praise God so it is looking good! I'll be in touch as soon as we know more. Mimi

I've been watching the blog all day. Thrilled to hear the news - the best possible outcome. I have a good feeling about both the hearing and the facial nerve!
