curiouser and curiouser

It just gets more curiouser and curiouser.  The bulge under the incision
on John's head is the tumor protruding.  They took out the area of skull
where they did surgery, so instead of growing "in" the tumor is growing
"out" and pressing against the skin.
 
He isn't in pain unless you press the skin in that area. [it looks like half
a walnut under the skin]  His prognosis hasn't changed....6 months,
and this weird growing pattern has actually bought him a little more
time since it's not totally inside his brain wreaking havoc.
 
There will be no more treatments [chemo, radiation; etc] so it's just a
waiting game now.  He went for an hour and a half walk when we got
home today, ate, went to bed.  Can't imagine what it's like to be him
right now.  Although he's almost excited to meet God face to face and
be able to talk and read and teach in heaven.  Can't add anything to that.
