Brain Surgery

Clint's mom has a brain tumor. They discovered it Wednesday when she went in to ER with unusually high blood pressure. They took her by ambulance to Seattle's UW hospital yesterday, and she went into surgery today. Clint went over last night to be with her. The girls and I are waiting to hear how she does.

The doctor told her removing brain tumors is the only surgery he performs. He does about 200 a year, and has never lost a patient on the operating table. I guess you can't ask for more reassurance than that, under the circumstances.

Update: Dorothy is out of surgery and has regained consciousness. She is able to chat a bit, but has a headache.
