Home Again!

I was able to pick up Amy and bring her home around noon.  She has a bunch of medicines to take for the next week and an appointment with the neuro-oncologist on the 23rd to see if there is anything that they would suggest as treatment.  Dr. Puccioni came by this morning and said that the post-surgery MRI showed that they were very successful removing the tumor without leaving any large remnants.  Hopefully, without leaving small remnants either, but it is hard to get all of the tumor in brain surgery because they have little tendrils that can go off in different directions and are hard to get. 

They spared enough hair that she's even able to mostly cover up the surgical site with her other hair without it looking like a comb-over.  She's resting now, glad to be home without beeping machines monitoring her!
