Ashley went through her pre-op preparation being asked the same set of questions five times. They gave her a gown that has a port that they blow warm air into and I think that really helped her to be comfortable and (more) calm.
The surgery should take about 2 ½ hours.
The team may or may not use electricity to stimulate her muscles to see how the brain reacts take sure they aren’t getting close to critical structures while operating. On the latest MRI there was some additional growth of the tumor that looks like it may require opening the skull a bit more but Dr. Badie sounded hopeful that this would not be the case and that he could get it with the previous opening.
Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and support. I can not imagine what this would’ve been like without it. We’d probably both be dead 😅.
I will update as I get updated. Much love,
Damien
