Dennis is out of surgery! Faith and I met with the surgeon about an hour ago and he said everything went well. He is awake and all his neurological functions seem to be in order. There was no excessive bleeding or complications of any kind. The Dr. said we should be able to go see him in ICU in an hour or so.
Unfortunately, the frozen section analysis of the tumor showed it was cancer- in all likelihood a "glioblastoma". Once the pathology is done in a day or two we will know what the treatment options are.
I will update the blog after we visit Dennis.
