MRI #2 Update

We got to see the post-op MRI results with the surgeon.  Imogen has always liked him the best, because he kisses her on the head.  He showed us a comparison between the first and second MRI.  

The great news is that he was able to get a lot out, and it's no longer leaning on the spinal cord.  There are still areas near the kidneys that aren't in his wheelhouse, so they're still in here.  He said that when the tumor was in there, it was pushing in such a way that was the equivalent of someone having 5 or 6 slipped discs at the same time.  Anyone who's had one knows that's no small thing.

So, now we're waiting for some physical therapy and for the pathology report at the end of the week. 

She's feeling a lot better.
