Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Praise God! Praying now that it is benign and that there are no complications from the surgery!

Recovery 1 - about 4:30 pm

"We just got out of the recovery room and are now in ICU in the children's hospital. She only had a strip of hair removed during the surgery so that is good as that was one of Maria's worries. Bald at 12 for a girl is rather unappealing.

I hope you will remember her beautiful smile as it might be a while before we see it again. There is drooping in her left side which wasn't there before surgery. She did speak to us, though it was a big effort. The right side is not functioning well at all. The big party in the recovery room was she wiggled her toes on command a tiny bit.

On the bright side her nurse is wearing a shirt with pictures of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the Blessed Trinity, The 3 Kings and the Flight into Egypt."

Those symptoms could just be from post-op swelling, which is not unusual at all, given how much manipulation her brain sustained during this surgery. Hopefully, over the next few days and weeks, they will subside.

God love this family, what a long haul....we're praying here!!!!!

I was just coming to say the same thing 4 lads mom! It is not unusual at all to observe some fine motor issues post-op after brain surgery. This could be bruising or inflammation from the surgery. I am just tearfully rejoicing that tonight this family can sit next to their little girl with hope in their hearts! Thanks be to God for answered prayers!

I continue to storm heaven during this period of recovery! The power of prayer is AWESOME!

We offered up our mass tonight for Maria and her family. I am so thankful to read that the surgery went as well as anyone could hope. Asking St. Nicholas to intercede mightily for her!

I have been praying since this request first came to this board. My one ds is especially praying for this intention - oh how powerful the prayers of our children for children must be! Our prayers continue...

Love,
