The News

On Sept. 15th we had our appt with Dr Reichman, the neurosurgeon. We felt so blessed to be able to be referred to him and had heard incredible things about him. He had perfomed more brain surgerys than all the surgeons in Utah combined. He showed us the film of Jed's MRI results and told us that it looked like a low grade tumor., and that it was causing the seizures. We weren't completely shocked because we knew that something was there and couldn't figure out what else it could be. We were pleased that it looked to be a low grade one and not cancerous and that it was in a pretty good spot to operate. The Dr said it was in a quiet area and on the top so it should be a pretty simple surgery with just a few days in the hospital and a couple weeks to just rest. He scheduled Jed to have surgery in 3 weeks, Nov 7th. So although we had just been told that Jed had a brain tumor, and that he was going to need brain surgery, we felt lucky that it wasn't worse, and walked out feeling blessed. (and extremely scared ha ha!)
