Monday 30th April 2001 12:30 Megan is now moving all her limbs. The right side is less responsive than the left but certainly not unexpected. Her neurosurgeon describes her as "doing remarkably well". An MRI scan later today will determine the extent of the remaining tumour.
Monday 30th April 2001 03:00 Megan is out of surgery and in Intensive Care !!!!!! Another MRI scan has been scheduled for today to determine how much of the tumour has remained. The surgeons believe they have removed most of the tumour leaving a small residual amount on a main artery. We got to see Megan and she is opening her eyes and moving her left arm and leg. The neurosurgeons believe it will take a little longer for her to move her right side. She is a fighter. Sunday 29th April 2001 21:35 Surgery is proceeding as expected. The surgeons believe they are approximately "half way". Sunday 29th April 2001 18:55 Megan was taken down to the Operating Theatre at 09:05 this morning. The only thing we have heard at this stage is that things are progressing very slowly. The waiting game continues. Sunday 29th April 2001 00:35 We were admitted into hospital on Saturday. Megan's neurosurgeon has been called in to perform emergency surgery in the early hours so at this point Megan's surgery may be postponed for a few hours. Friday 27th April 2001 Megan will be admitted into the Royal Children's Hospital on Saturday afternoon in preparation for surgery on Sunday morning. Surgery will commence at 8:30 am and is expected to take 24+ hours. The intention of the surgeons is to remove all of the tumour although the likelihood of a complete re-section is small. This surgery also carries a large risk factor due to the length of the procedure. At completion of surgery, Megan will go into Intensive Care to recover until she is in a stable condition. Thursday 26th April 2001 Pre-Op MRI Scan to be performed. Hopefully we will find out when Megan will be admitted.
