News from Alison after second surgery ...

To the Stella Standing Tall community:

Just a quick note to let you know that Stella is out of surgery.  It went very smoothly.  Her neurosurgeon said that he could clearly see the tuber- it didn't look like normal, grey brain matter and it had a firm texture.  He removed a large olive-sized area.  Over time, this empty area will fill in with regular brain tissue.

So, she is now sleeping, pumped full of morphine.  She will have another MRI tomorrow and the last surgery on Wednesday.

The adventure continues!

X Alison
