Update on Courtney 25 September 2010 - Praise God! Histology results are back.
Our neurosurgeon phoned me a little while ago with great excitement! The histology results for Courtney's tumor came back and the tumor is benign! The operation removed the tumor and there is no evidence of further cancer! He was very pleased to share the news! And of course we are overjoyed to share it with you!
The histology showed that she had a 'Choroid plexus papiloma' - you can check this link for details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choroid_plexus_papilloma
At first they feared it was a Medulloblastoma - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medulloblastoma - but praise God that it is not!
God is so good to us! We cannot thank you all enough for your prayers, care and love!
Please join us in thanking the Lord for His mercy and grace!
Courtney is out of ICU and in the pediatric ward. She is resting well and should be home within a few days!
Praise be to God!
