I Just Got A TEXT from Brother--THANK THE POWERS!!!

[binaryalchemist]

Just a moment ago the cell phone (which has been glued to me all day) buzzed with a text--Dale is out, awake and doing well---and here's the BEST PART--they decided to try to get in through the side of his head, going through the ear. That means he lost the inner ear and will not recover his hearing on that side--BUT they didn't have to drill big holes in his skull or take the front part of his face off--which is what we originally thought they'd have to do to get it since it was behind the eyesocket. They went in through the side and got the little bastard.
Furious as I am at his wife--and there are no words for that level of anger--hearing from him and knowing it went so well means the world to me!!!!!!!

I knew the surgeon was an answered prayer--Dr. Holladay is one of the world's authorities on that type of rare prenatal tumor (yes, he's had it since he was in the womb--it just began to grow dangerously large in the past year) and no doubt Bro is going to end up in some medical journals. Not having to whack open the front of his skull means a faster recovery, less trauma and everything better all the way around.
....I may actually sleep tonight!!
