Prayers and thoughts request *UPDATED @ 12:46 11/30 *

Well, I have an update. And it isn't as well as hoped for. The surgery started at 8am this morning and it was completed a little while ago. The tumor is definitely cancer. The Dr's aren't sure yet if it's a type 2 or 3 tumor. It was stated by the Doc's that it is dangerous but not hopeless. They were not able to remove all of it either. There was some swelling, and some of the cerebellum had to be removed, but it's is said she can overcome that part. EB has a very long road ahead of her. Please keep your thoughts and prayers coming. They are appreciated. God bless.
 
I just stepped into the lounge and saw this. Tears welled up in my eyes (as I sit here with my 4 year old princess who has bronchitis, knowing how uncomfortable she is with something so minor and temporary), thinking about EB and her parents.
My family will be praying for her.
God is completely in control and he still works miracles. Please let her and her family know that so many people are praying for her; hopefully they will receive some comfort from knowing they are being remembered.
 
New update. EB is still on a ventilator and sedated. But that is normal for this type of procedure. She had some pretty critical issues with her blood pressure being too high yesterday, and they were attempting to lie her on her back. But every time she was turned over her blood pressure shot up. Fortunately, by this morning, her blood pressure has stabilized and they have her on her back now. Keep the prayers coming. It's a long road ahead. Thanks again to everyone.
 
Many prayers from many people will continue for EB and her family. May God be with them, and keep them strong.
 
What a horrific ordeal for the young lady and family.
May God bless them all and hope everything works out for the best.
 
So far so good. EB's blood pressure has remained stable. Last night they were planning on suctioning her lungs to prevent pneumonia and prep her for a feeding tube. I haven't heard how well that went, but no news is good news. The plan is to conduct another MRI sometime today or tomorrow to gauge the actual success of the surgery and to determine what the next course of treatments or surgery will be.

A fund has been set up at a local bank to assist her parents with expenses. If you feel inclined to donate, contact me via email or private message and I will give you the banking information. You can mail it directly to the bank in her name. Thanks again. Keep the prayer chain rolling.
 
Firehouse,

Thank you for the update and know that prayers continue from Texas.
 
Just wanted to say thanks again for all of the prayers and well wishes up to this point. I have a new update, and it's promising.

The Doctors have brought EB out of her coma, she has opened her eyes and moved her a arms a little. Her mother was allowed to touch her for the first time since Friday. They are also weening her off of the paralytics used to keep her movement down. She had a CT scan this morning and handled it well. The next MRI is still in the works to check the surgical results. EB is a fighter.

I will keep you all posted. Thank you.
