Medical Expenses for the LaFore Family

Donation protected
All of the information is from Effie regarding her son Terry, who recently had surgery.  We are asking for any financial help that others can provide as she will have numerous expenses once he is home.  This has all happened within the last week. 

A couple days ago Terry was brought to Omaha to see a neurosurgeon about a mass in his head. Yesterday he went and got an MRI done today we go the results.

The mass is a tumor. It's just a little bigger than a golf ball and has blocked the fluid from being able to drain from his head. A catheter was placed in his head to drain that fluid. He has gotten a lot of release from the drainage. He has no head aches today!!! YAY!!!! He will continue to have the catheter in until Sunday next week. And then we will possibly take it out depending on his results throughout the week.

Tomorrow morning he goes in for surgery to have the tumor removed. At that point they will discuss further treatment options of what needs to be done they will do a biopsy on the tumor. As of right now the biopsy results will not be back for at least 5 to 7 days. After surgery Monday he will go through physical therapy. After a couple days of physical therapy will know more on whether or not he can go home.

*1 hour before they take my sweet little boy goes down for surgery. He will be there a good portion of the day. And when I know something I will post it here. Please keep the prayers coming guys. He slept all night. And I slept about 6 hours all together! Thank you everyone! 

*Terry is back up here! Surgeon just stopped said everything looks good now. He will not be woke up until tomorrow.

*Terry is drinking really well and talking a little. He is allowed to start eating soon! He will be happy to see dinner!  Evening update:
Terry got up earlier and walked to the bathroom and back to his chair. He obviously need some much needed help but it's the first step! They are moving him to another room. A larger one so as he does therapy he will have plenty of space  <3. He is sleeping now. Walking to a lot of effort for him.
Thank you everyone for the continued support and prayers. They are very appreciated.  

*Terry had a small lunch. After he ate he had physical therapy and occupational therapy. He did great at both! He walked some and he played a small round of uno .
