Greetings from Billings!
  After an uneventful trip from Bozeman, M and I arrived in Billings this afternoon. The roads were dry and good. For those not living in the Big Sky state, winter road conditions are a significant subject and the the most likely question you will receive after a formal greeting is, "How are the roads?"
 We went straight to St Vincent's Hospital to do a pre-op check in and take care of the administrative tasks.
 After the Hospital visit we proceeded to the Northern Hotel and found M's family. They have been faithfully waiting for our arrival. We were able to share some drinks and a nice meal in downtown Billings which marked M's final meal before surgery as she is banned from eating after midnight.

So tomorrow is the big day and here is the run-down. All times are in in Mountain Standard time:

0700- Pre-Surgery MRI at St V's

1045- Surgery Check-in at St V's

1245- Planned Surgery

I will be giving updates as we get through the day.

In previous posts I have mentioned the amount of support and well wishes she has received. M values that so much as it continues to come in at colossal rate. She is so thankful for all of you!  We both are!

If you have any questions tomorrow obviously reaching her is going to be extremely unlikely so feel free to call  or text me at 406-390-6451.   Also commenting on here will work.  I plan on keeping the blog updated by the minute so as news comes in, my intent is to post it here first.

Thanks again everyone and keep in touch!

Matt

We heard the collective sigh of relief from across the country. We cannot reiterate the amount of thanks we have for all of you and your support. An extra special thanks for Dr. Louis Ross and the entire staff of St. Vincent's hospital. To say that what they have done is amazing does not extend the proper respects as the entire team here is exceptional.   Right now M is resting in the ICU. I am here with her. She is alert, talking and cracking jokes. Yes, her humor is every bit unchanged.  Her first exclamation after coming out from anesthesia was "this is the tightest pony tail I have ever had in my life!"     She is in a fair amount of pain, as would be expected, in her head. Right now they are trying to manage her nausea as well but it all seems that it is being mitigated by some pretty powerful narcotics.  So those of you feeling the urge to go out and celebrate, you should do so. M just wants you to know how ever hard you party she "will have a hangover...

Doctor Ross just came out to inform us that the procedure is complete and went well!!  M is in recovery and awake and moving around.  They were able to remove all of the tumor and the initial pathology report is that it is likely a Meningioma. That is to say that the tumor is not likely to be cancerous. A full pathology report will be out in 5-7 days.  Fingers crossed but initial reports are good.   We are going to be able to see her shortly before they take her to the ICU. She will spend the night in the ICU and will be on her way home Saturday or Sunday. So needles to say that we all breathing a great "sigh of relief."  We are far from the end of the journey but a giant portion has been safely traveled. I will have more updates later on but I wanted to pass the good news as timely as possible. Thanks you for all the love and support! Matt

Another guest post from M

Whew. I had my follow-up appointment with Dr. Ross in Billings on Wednesday & it was full of good news. He says my stroke risk is no longer increased and my risk for traumatic brain injury is no different today that 2 years from now. I NEVER would have thought 10 years ago that I would cry happy tears when someone told me I could run again (slowly, carefully, not far… but hey—I’m only 3 weeks post-op!) I can xc ski, even downhill ski (again, slowly, carefully, helmeted & “don’t overdo it.”) I’m telling you, I just like this guy~ he sticks with highlighting the few things not to do & then says “listen to your body and don't overdo it” but it’s OK to start increasing activities as it feels good, so long as I still avoid anything with my head below my heart or anything strenuous (no breath holding/straining/ etc.) I can lay flat to sleep! I can drive… all sorts of stuff J , so long as I "get plenty of rest & listen to my body." The tumor was righ...
