still no answers

We were expecting to know some more answers after the surgery and they got a piece of whatever it is growing in there but we still have no answers. It will take 5-10 days before we can get the pathology report back and then they will decide on a treatment plan from there. Jeff was moved from the UCI side of 112 onto the regular side since he is doing good in his recovery. They are still monitoring his ICP (the pressure in his brain) through a drain in his brain. The pressure has been good so far and hopefully they will take the drain out soon. Today he is super tired and said the surgery and everything is catching up to him.

Jeff has alot of doctors on their toes trying to figure out what exactly is happening to him and why. Last year the pathology report came back telling us it was a teratoma that was removed but a teratoma is not supposed to grow at the rate in which Jeffs tumor is growing. We have been told that jeffs case is a very unusual one. We have some great doctors and they are really doing their homework on this one.
