Subject: Lesley's Operation
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 08:10:32 -0400

Lesley came through the operation in fine form.  When I went to see her
about an hour and a half after the operation, she was complaining of a
headache but the extra morphine the nurse in Neurological Intensive Care
gave her eventually took care of that and put her into a good sleep.
She also asked me to rub her feet, which is typical Lesley.  While awake
she was aware of her surroundings, speaking well, and concerned about
the kids and whether they made it to camp, got sunscreened, etc.  She
responded well to the little neurological tests she was given (raising
arms, squeezing fingers, moving legs ...).  She'll probably be moved to
a regular bed this morning and be able to leave the hospital on Saturday
or Sunday.  She's got a wicked cool haircut that I'm sure will be in
vogue in schools this fall :-).  The doctor is waiting to see the
results of the biopsy (Thursday or Friday) before discussing subsequent
treatment.

I'd like to thank each of you for your thoughts and wishes as we battle
this tumor.  I'll try to update you over the weekend.
