Update on Surgery:

Nurse just called from the operating room and said Matt was doing ok and he was tolerating everything they were doing to him but are having a hard time getting to the tumor. They will call again in a couple hours to give us another update. A 4 hour surgery might turn into a 5 hour surgery.  I stole this last part from Jen's blog because I left it out of mine and she has a great way with words. He will have a drain for potential blood as well as fluids, so that they don't cause pressure within the brain. He will be having eye exams soon after postop and will have some jaw pain as well because they are cutting through the jaw bone at the temple. Matt was more concerned about if any of the IVs or the catheter will hurt, and if he needs to take off his underwear.
