Tonight after over 5 hrs of surgery we have good news. The surgeons were able to remove the whole tumor. He is not out of the woods yet and has a long recover. They now have to wait for the pathology report about the tumor. Thank you for all your prayers. There is strength in numbers. The surgeons did say that if they waited much longer he could have lost his sight. The tumor was up against the optic part of the brain. Again thanks to everyone that had him in their thoughts and prayers. Barry
