Cheryl just called............

[Guest guest]

The doctor came in to check Tiny and told them they will not shave her

head and cut into her skull to do the surgery. They will make a cut

to form a flap and pull it back; then drill a hole into her skull

about the size of a half dollar. They they will dissect through the

brain to the spot where the aneurysm is located. If it has a neck (it

did not before this), they can put a clamp around the neck and cut it

off...if this works, the surgery could be shorter...maybe 4 hours. If

it does not have a neck, they will have to do the vein from her leg to

make a bypass to bypass the aneurysm completely. This will take

longer...maybe 8 hours. Cheryl sounded upbeat but the a.c. in the Red

Roof Inn is not working right so they are changing hotels tomorrow.

She plans to go home Tuesday if all goes well tomorrow. Doris
