14 Jul 2010

Lynne was taken to surgery on schedule this morning. The surgeon shared the results of the MRI taken on Monday. The tumor has invaded the motor strip, which increases the risk associated with the surgical outcome. Lynne was offered the option of an aggressive or non-aggressive surgery. The risk of the aggressive option is paralysis on her right side. The benefit is longer life expectation. The reverse is true for the non-aggressive option. Lynne and I prefer and agreed to pursue the aggressive option. With the aggressive option, the need for rehabilitation is a near certainty. We will know more after the surgery and much more within the next couple of days.

We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers.

Regards,
Darryl

Darryl,
Just to let you know that many prayers are going up for Lynne and you over here in Southeast Texas. May a special measure of God's compassion and comfort be with you both.
