With so many people not doing any social media I’m starting this page for what is up with Willa. You have the link and can check back anytime. Please do not share this blog link. It is on the web but not listed on any search engine or directory or menu on my site. -Jim

Willa's craniotomy with open biopsy is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:30. The neurosurgeon will go in through the same incision made in previous resections, and the procedure should last about three hours. She shouldn't have much swelling in her brain since they're not removing the tumor, just taking a sample from it. She'll stay in the hospital about 3 days, then recover at Tri Delta Place until next Thursday, when the neurosurgeon will hopefully clear her to travel. If so, we'll drive home next Friday.

We will update here as we can. We're hopeful and in good spirits, confident in the team that will be taking care of Willa. -Jody
