Egg-less determination

Oh the happiness!

Apparently Kelly is up walking and talking!!!!!!!!  The nurses say this is the fastest recovery they have seen; it is very rare that a brain tumor patient gets up immediately after surgery!  She literally just arrived from the O.R. into her recovery room and is already moving around as if nothing.  That sister of mine...is a miracle :)

Moma and Pops just went in to visit her!  Hector is next...and then me!!!  I can't wait!

P.S.

I think that the definition of PMA needs to add an additional meaning: KELLY "The Warrior" DILLON

Two and a Half Eggs

Dr. Sieg and Rabbi Laser called us into the conference room about 20 min ago...Kelly has won the battle!  The tumor was much larger than we were told in Panama...it was actually about the size of a grapefruit (or two and a half eggs)! The doctor says she has had it for MANY YEARS. For the next 24 hrs she will be in ICU and then for 3-5 days under observation here at the hospital.  After that, we will head back to up-state NY for 14 days so that she can rest and recuperate.  

So, pop that bottle of champagne and celebrate her victory! I can't tell you the last time I have felt this way.  Actually, I don't think I have ever been happier :)  As I look around the waiting room, I see radiating smiles of happiness and relief on the faces of ALL our family members.  

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS Thank you for your PMA Thank you thank you thank you...

Much love

The battle line has been drawn.

At 7:45am our WARRIOR PRINCESS entered into battle.

We await for her victory anxiously here in the waiting room...

I wish I had the words to tell you how amazing she is...I have learned so much from her these past few weeks. It is hard to explain to you what a true example of strength and courage she has been up to this point.

I will keep you posted throughout the day...

Please do not BBM the family today or tomorrow or the next day!...it gets a little crazy with all the *PING*ing. That was one of the original reasons for this blog. So please please please just follow up on the blog. :) thank you
