Mom just called with good news!!

Latest update:
10 Neurosurgeons at NY Presbyterian Hospital, to include the chief of the Department, just reviewed Kelly's MRI images.

They bring us great news:
-It appears to be a primary brain tumor (glioma ) which is a low grade brain tumor..... very good news!
-There is a very good chance that Kelly will come out of the operation in perfect health.
-The doctors all agree, they don't think this will be a serious case. 
-It should be a successful operation, but they will only know this for sure after they remove the tumor.

So here's the plan:
Tuesday, Oct. 19......... Kelly and family will fly to NY
Wednesday, Oct. 20 ....Kelly meets with Dr. Philip E. Stieg,            
                New York Presbyterian Hospital
                Weill Cornell Medical Center
Tuesday, Oct. 26..........Kelly is operated

KEEP THE PRAYERS AND POSITIVE VIBRATIONS ROLLING HER WAY! (You should see how big her smile was when we heard the news!!)

    Kelly:
    Te escribe Javier "El Jap" Orillac, amigo de Héctor desde hace muchísimos años. No quiero aburrirte con una larga historia y con anécdotas reales vividas en mi familia con situaciones similares a las que puedes estar atravesando tú, tú familia, tus seres queridos y tus amistades. No he tenido el placer de conocerte, pero sé que has escuchado hablar de EL JAP a través de Héctor y sabes qué, mejor que aún no nos hemos conocido porque estoy 100% seguro de que regresarás de NYC totalmente recuperada y lista para celebrar con todos los que te quieren y aprecian EN GRANDE. Puedes estar segura que aquí tienes a un buen amigo del otro lado de esta computadora que estará al pendiente de tu cirugía, recuperación, etc., porque yo mismo me encargaré con HECTOR de hacer TREMENDA CELEBRACION a tu regreso. Lo importante es tener FE EN DIOS, CONFIANZA EN LOS MEDICOS y TODO SALDRA BIEN.
    Espero que pronto puedas regresar a Panamá y estoy seguro que así será.
    Un gran abrazo para ti, Héctor y toda tu familia y amistades.

  15. Kelly-
    Oh my! I saw the FB note that Yoela posted... I live in Lynchburg, VA with my husband and 3 kids. We are involved with a wonderful church. Our Small group is praying for you! We are so thankful to have this site to keep us updated. Lean on the LORD for strength... find comfort that distant friends and their friends are keeping you in our thoughts daily! One of my life Bible verses:
    "Do not fear, for I am with you;
    Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God
    I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
    Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

    I hope it encourages you as well!

    Love,
    Carol Davies (Burger Twin)
