Early Thursday morning, Brandon was taken for an MRI to further investigate some abnormalities discovered in his CT scan. The MRI revealed a mass on his Pineal gland, located at the center of his brain. We were assured that it was a blessing that the tumor was discovered at a very early stage of development and were asked to wait for the Neurosurgeon to visit later in the day for further details. As the day progressed, Brandon continued to run high fevers, became agitated, and more difficult to arouse from sleep. When the Neurosurgeon (Dr. R) visited, he assured us that the mass was likely a benign cyst and that it should be removed at some point in time. Because of the uncertainty of his condition and symptoms, he recommended that we remove the tumor the following morning as long as Brandon was responsive at the time of surgery. We are truly grateful to have such a talented Neurosurgeon helping Brandon. We have been assured that Dr. R is the best in our area and his confidence and experience is very reassuring. Through the night Brandon continued to display some erratic behavior. At one point he became very agitated and stated “I cannot find Lance’s body”…. Does anyone know who Lance is? He may need to do some explaining when he wakes up : ) He also really wanted to go home.
