Update. Successful surgery and a scare...

[Digdoug]

...Brian came thru surgery great and looks awesome. They removed a tumor the size of a lemon from under his chin. He has a drain tube that runs from under his skin from the chin and exits behind his ear to drain the fluid. It will be removed Monday. The anatheisioligist (SP?) had a conference with us and said that he was very difficult to intibate (SP?) because of the stiffness of his neck. They almost had to do a tracheotomy (?) because it took so long to run the airtube because of the tumors. He considered waking him up because he wasn't getting enough oxygen. We dodged a bullet this time and if they do have to trach him it will be left in for up to 5 years so we hope to avoid that by having the surgeries performed more often. I have to get back to the hospital and will catch up later.

Thanks so much for your prayers,
