He was awake and alert with full motor functions merely three hours after his surgery this morning. The doctors removed the tumor from his frontal lobe with no difficulty. Because it was so slow growing, his brain just moved out of the way to accommodate it over the years. The thing was five centimeters in diameter when they took it out.

So now all we are waiting for are the results of a biopsy and for my brother to recover. Thank you all so much for your kind words and positive support!
