Surgery Day Update

In support of
The Zeidman Family
View Support Registry

I am happy to report that Anat had a succesful surgery today. She showed up bright and early at 5 AM and went in to surgery smiling. After a 9 hour operation, we met with the doctor at 5:30 this evening and he reported that he was able to remove the entire tumor (he will confirm this with an MRI tomorrow). Her speech does not appear to be impacted and her memory was sharp. She was also able to move her fingers and toes and arms/legs, a sign that her mobility will be fine. We know we have some long days ahead, but for now, all is ok. 

Anat was determined and confident - she knew what needed to be done, and she did it. She was my source of confidence today, and I am so deeply proud of her. We are eternally grateful to Dr. Fred Lang and his entire team at MD Anderson. For them, it was just another day in the office, but for us, it was life changing. 

I will send a more detailed update over the weekend, but please know she is stable, safe, and all smiles. We both feel your love and prayers. We have so enjoyed hearing from and seeing friends and family near and far, old and new.  

Love, 

Jay
