Another update incase anyone reads this. Prayers greatly needed.

Charles continued to have seizures since the last time I posted. His tumors grew back and on Sept. 17 he had a second brain surgery, this time while awake but heavily sedated. His tumors were in in the region that effects motor skills. They did his surgery in Boston this time which is where the best doctors are. They managed to remove 98% of the mass and he was doing quite well post-op.

In the past few days however the swelling in his brain has made him lose nearly all his muscle ability on the left side of his body. Reminder, he is only 26 and is so frustrated with not being able to walk, move his fingers, or smile correctly. He's started some pretty intensive physical therapy.

His pathology should come back soon and everyone is praying its not cancer. It was benign the first time and now we are hoping for good news a second time. I love this guy so so much, he is very dear to us and we really could use prayers for him and his wife. They are not religious but are some of the most positive people I know. I've facetimed (like webcams on the iPad) with him a lot in the past few days and he is being so positive despite barely being able to talk and not seeming like himself anymore. Very frightening.g but everyone is hoping for the best. Thanks.
