Mike here.
Andrea is now in the hands of the surgeon and his staff. She left about an hour ago. We should have an update around 10 ~ 10:30 am.
She was in good spirits when she left... But that may have been the drugs talking.
She met with the anesthesiologist and he explained the step by step process of the surgery. Right now she is sleeping while they remove part of the top part of her skull. They numb the area and then wake her up. Now, the surgeon already knows what parts he wants to remove. But they wake her up and ask her to provide feedback (eg. moving a leg, speaking) so the can optimize the removal. Then, after removing most, if not all, of Snarla, they will put her asleep, put the skull back in position and close up. Sounds too simple when I write it out.
Anyway. I'm sitting here in the waiting with Pope (Father), Fran (step-Mother) and Leigh (step-Sister). We're all just trying to keep busy. Not much for us to do, but wait.
