A very scarey day!





Uncle Noel had been complaining of some pressure in his head & thought he had a sinus infection. After a couple of weeks on pain meds & anti-biotics, he wasn't getting better. Heather took him to the Emergency Room at St. Joe's last night & they admitted him ASAP in the ICU. Being as how Uncle Noel had a brain tumor 17 years ago the doctors were very scared about what all this would mean. We were told that this surgery would be more dangerous & threatening than the last one so many years ago. Well being as how he had only a 20% chance of survival last time obviously the odds were worse now. Of course the family came together & through fear & hope we turned the only place to turn...God! After almost 24 hours of preparing for another open surgery one doctor came in w/ a shred of HOPE! We were told they might be able to go in w/ a scope & remove the mass that way. Praying & continuing to believe for a miracle. We won't know anything until Tuesday...Of course that's when Maggs goes in for her surgery!
