We talked to the nurse practitioner that works with Phil's neurosurgeon. She talked to the doctor personally, and he said it is very slow going. The tumor is wrapped up in a lot of veins, and it is very bloody. They will work at one part of the tumor, then stop and wait for the bleeding to stop, then start again. So it is going to take a while to remove what they can. They are thinking it will at least be 4 or 5pm tonight when they will be finished. Phil is doing great so far, and has remained stable through the whole thing.
Keep praying for wisdom for the doctors and nurses in there with Phil, and for endurance!
