Stefan came home today! Very exciting. Very nice to not have to split my time between the hospital and home. Charlotte is very happy to have Daddy home! We are all tired.
We couldn't have asked for a better turn out from the surgery. Stefan is still tired often, but recovering well. We spoke to the surgeon - and he said they removed 98% of what could be seen in the MRI! Yes - 98%! The neurology students sat with us and showed us the before surgery MRI vs. the after surgery cat scan. No more mushroom coming out of Stefan's head! He now has a titaniam mesh covering the previous hole.
We are now waiting on the pathology results - could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks for that. Next steps will be dependent on the results. If it's just a pure grade 2 - it may be a 'wait and see' or radiation. If it's a grade 3 (surgeons inclincation based on the size of the tumour) - that could be mean radiation and chemo.
We are still holding off on visitors - thanks for understanding our need for rest and family time! Will update again soon!

He's like Wolverine but the titanium is in his head rather than his hands! I'm so happy to hear he is home and recovering nicely.
