surgery time change

Dear Family and Friends, Thank you again for all of your support, love, generosity and kindness. We have been overwhelmed by it. Early today we were feeling pretty good about where things stood with Pearce. The doctors feel that the tumor is not aggressive and likely will not require proactive treatment in the future (i.e. chemotherapy or radiation or surgery) should it show no signs of growth or change. Now, however, we are facing brain surgery tomorrow morning at 7:45 am. Hearing the details of the surgery and the risks was sobering. We are grateful for the temporary relief we felt last night and earlier today but now we're in another anxious time. The surgery remains "a low risk surgery" according to the neurosurgeon and yet there is potential that if something goes wrong, it would be very very serious. So, we continue to ask for prayer tomorrow morning in particular. May God protect Pearce and guide every step of the surgery, blessing the team of doctors and nurses. He is in control. Brian and Amy
