"Get a bottle of champagne, some strawberries... and celebrate"

Hello all,
I spoke with Julian tonight and here's an update. (I'm not going to word this as well as you do, Jules, but I'll do my best from the notes I took.) They removed the bandage this morning and Karyn's incision looks really good. Really clean. It starts behind the hairline at mid-forehead height and extends over her ear. She's feeling and looking better. She's a bit more groggy today, but had her first physical therapy session and passed all the tests with flying colors! 100% short term memory, 90% peripheral vision and eye tracking. They are really pleased. Julian said she's now laying on her right side--a big deal! They are planning to get her sitting in a chair tomorrow. She was supposed to have an MRI later today to determine how much of the tumor they actually removed. A bed is waiting for her at The Kentfiled Rehab hospital, where she'll be just 5 minutes from home. Julian is "100% dedicated to getting her better, " but he assured me he's also taking care of himself. No ETA yet on when she'll be moving there.

Words from Karyn...She wants all of us to go out and get a bottle of champagne, some strawberries and "maybe some dark chocolate" and celebrate. When you do this...take pictures and send them to me...we'll make sure she gets them.

Best,
susan
