Dear friends and family, Ali is doing well, and tucked into her room in ICU at St. Mary's Hospital. It was a long day, she started at 5:45 this morning, and returned to her room about 5 pm, fully awake and telling "as only Ali can tell" the tales of her day. The surgeon was extremely optimistic about the removal of the tumor, he believes there will be no long term problems with speech or motor, and that she will enjoy a full recovery to health. Needless to say we are all grateful for the extraordinary care that Ali has received, and this wonderful outcome.
We have been sharing your notes and calls and messages with Ali throughout the day. The prayers, and blessing of so many have supported us all through this most difficult time. Thank you for being present in our lives, we are truely blessed. We ask that in your own way, that you thank God for his grace and blessing of Allison.
We are hopeful that Ali will move out of ICU tomorrow, and onto a surgical unit - at that point she can send messages and receive calls as she feels up to it.
Love, Jill & Mike
