The surgeon came to talk to us yesterday and revealed all the information he has been keeping secret for the last week. Turns out the pathology reported this thing in his head to be something totally different than what everyone had thought it was. The report says its a dermoid which is not cancerous and will not respond to radiation or chemo. So from here on out there will be no formal treatment. Jeff will be watched VERY closely for the next little while and if anything changes in his vision then they will think about going back in and doing something about the lesion on the optic nerve. For now we will wait and see what happens.
Jeff has been feeling much better the last few days and it turns out there was no infection in his brain just something they called a chemical meningitis, they have attributed this to blood in his CSF. We still dont have a timeline as to when we might be able to get out of here but things are looking much better.
