My Mom is now officially a ZIPPERHEAD!

I just wanted to take a second to thank everyone for your love, support, and prayers for my mom and my family over the past few weeks and especially today.

Her brain surgery started at 12:30p and it only lasted about an hour and half which is a pretty good sign. She is doing well although she is in a lot of pain. She told me in a slur that she has a headache from H-E-double hockey sticks. I can imagine so. There is an insicion about four inches long that starts at the base of her neck and goes straight up.

She will be in ICU for at least the next 24 hours but most likely for 48 and she will not be released until Friday.

Zipperhead: (as defined by urbandictionary.com)

A person who has undergone decompression surgery to relieve pressure on the brain stem and to allow the cerebral spinal fluid to flow properly. Ususally as a result of trama or a condition known as Arnold Chiari Malformation in which the brain can become herniated down the spinal cord. The resulting scar looks like a zipper up the back of the head.

Now you can imagine what her scar is going to look like.
Mom- I know it will be awhile before you get back on to the blog but I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU and cannot imagine a day without you in my life. P.S.- they had a tshirt on zazzle.com that says "If you think my boobs are big you should see my brain!!" I think you need it!

But seriously thanks again everyone and now we pray for recovery.
