thanks everyone,

she had her 3rd very long brain surgery. this tumor grows frightenly fast.
they found that it had almost tripled since her 2nd surgery so had to do another. and, that's after the dr said he thought he had only left maybe 5% in there.

now she's moving ahead with getting a port, iv & oral chemo and radiation.
we (some neighbors) have bought her a few head coverings as i think she will lose her beautiful long hair. what 17 y/o doesn't have long hair?

so please keep her in your thoughts. she has 3 other siblings and the children's hospital is an hr away. thankfully they have family that can come & stay with the other kids.
