Heather came out of surgery about 30 minutes ago. The tumor was the length of a dollar bill and pretty deep. There were no problems with bleeding, and she’s moving her arms and legs. She’s currently in recovery and not not off anesthesia yet. As soon as she is, they’ll put her in the ICU and then she’ll be there for about 24 hours. They’re not sure what her speech is like yet – Mark and her mom are waiting for her to wake up and then they’ll know more.
Thank you for your prayers, keep praying.

Great news for Heather. Still a long road to go, and we will ALL be praying her through it. I am praying right now that she gets THE BEST nurses in the hospital, that every medical person that comes in contact with her will have gentle and loving hands. That she will have NO infection or bleeding. She is still on my heart constantly. Thank you for the udpates. I look forward to more.

Thanks for the updates. There is a testimony with that even though there is no news as of yet–most people would not have made it this far with that size of a tumor! God is amazing!!!
I happened across Heather’s story TODAY of all days! She has been in my prayers since this afternoon when I first read her blog! Thank you for the updates! I have posted the PRAYING for HEATHER button my blog and have put Heather in our prayers at church. I live in Minnesota…..so maybe a few more prayers closer to MAYO will help!

Continuing to pray for Heather and her family! God is good!

I’m so glad the surgery appears to have gone well. I am hoping to hear that her speech is in tact and that all her movements are smooth and purposeful.
I will continue to lift Heather, her family, her doctors and nurses in prayer.
Thanks again for the updates and I’ll check again tomorrow for more news.
Hugs to all~
I just got chills when I read again, but really for the first time, Heather’s header-
“Eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory”-
Praying those eyes will open very soon and that Heather will feel and know His Strength and Glory!!
