Dave is out of surgery and recovering in the ICU. The surgery went well and he has been talking and moving his hands and feet. The Surgeon said he easily removed a mass that was "hanging" from Dave's Velum Interpositum, a relatively unimportant part of the brain, it was not attached to his brain stem (good news). After an initial examination of the mass, the pathologists here at Roswell are uncertain about exactly what the mass was, but noted that it did not appear to be cancerous. They also said the mass is very abnormal and did not look like a tumor. The mass will be sent for further analysis and we should know more in 7-10 days.
We are all breathing a sigh of relief and thankful once again for the love and support of all of our friends and family.

Good news so far!! Thanks for the report. Now the hardest part because it lasts so long = waiting for pathology to do their part. My doctor had assured me that it really does take that long....it cannot be done quicker. You remain in my prayers.
