We can all breathe now! Stefan went into surgery just before 10 am, and was out just after 2:30. We had been told the surgery was expected to be 4 hours, so waiting for my phone to ring from 2 to 2:30 was excruciating.
I've been told the surgery went well, not sure yet how much was removed, will find out when we see the surgeon.
Stefan is responding well! Moving all his arms and legs and answering questions correctly. He knew who we were (me, his parents and sister). When I first went in to see him, he said he loved me, and my heart melted.
We are letting him rest as he is quite out of it. Will update again soon. Thanks for all the prayers, positive thoughts and healing energy!

Hello Stefan and Taleen
I was referred to your blog from your friend Renee from Whitehorse. Thought I would drop you a line in hopes to connect with you a bit more once things settle out. My husband and I are one year in remission after metastatic brain cancer and we received all our treatment at VGH and the BCCA in Vancouver. We have a 14 month old who came to us in the midst of it all. We also had a blog.
So happy to hear that the second surgery went well, I have heard nothing but positives about Dr. T. Your sense of humour, awesome support system and obvious love for one another are secret weapons - not to mention your little monkey. I will pass on my email to Renee and would love to connect with you and pass on some of the support places we found as life lines for us when we were down there. All the best to you both in your recovery, amazing news that the surgery went well!
