I am home to shower and wanted to give an update. The tumor was removed Monday and it is now at the pathologist. They still feel it is benign and that they got it all.
He is healing now, but looks pretty bad with swelling. He has a headache (not surprising, right?) and hates medicine so that is now our big challenge. They just took his IV out, he is going to get up and move around today and we may be going home tomorrow. Isn't that just amazing? I mean, it was BRAIN surgery!!!!
I'll be posting a bunch of thank yous when I get home. For now I want to thank everyone for their prayers and wishes. There really is healing power in faith and knowing that God would take care of my baby.

Obivously Jacob is a strong young man !! This is fantastic news. Having a mom who cares for you like only a mother would certainly helps to a quick road to recovery.
We love you Jacob! (and take your medicine!)
He looks GREAT!!!!!! Tell him if he wants to go home he better take his medicine!! :) HUGS to you all!!
Jennifer-- read about what was going on with Jacob. . . .eek! I know that must've taken you quite by surprise. I'm so glad his surgery went well. And wow! I can't believe that they might release him that quickly! Prayers being said that it is in fact benign.
Oh Jen, I'm so glad the surgery went well and I'm keeping everything crossed that the results show the tumor is benign. Thinking of you all and hugs to you all.
Yeah Jacob!!! I've been thinking about you guys constantly lately. I'm so happy to hear that things look good. Baby G. sounds so cute when she says her prayers at night.... "God bwess Jaaaakeb S'more".
Oh Jen, I'm so happy to hear the news!!! I've had your family in my thoughts constantly. My heart is jumping up and down. Yeh Jacob!!!

Thank you for the update. My husband and I sat here reading and we are both so happy and grateful for his health. Amazing how resilient kids are!
So glad to hear that things went well. It really is amazing watching babies bounce back... Ky was up and running 4 hours after her spinal cord surgery... I was blown away!!
Huge hugs to all!
