Noah's surgery take 2

On August 13th, 2012 Noah went through a second chraniotomy within 4 months, the night/day before the 4 off us decided to come to the Harrisburg/ Hershey area to have some fun.  We left Bellefonte around 10am and went to capital city mall to visit build-a-bear.  Noah built Syd the sloth and Sydney built teddy bear.  From there we met Tiffany's family to eat and enjoy a night playing miniature golf and some arcades.

Any ways on the morning of his surgery we had to be in the hospital at 5.30am, and at 7.30am the took from pre-op to surgery.  At 11.30 am our surgeon (Dr. I) came out and talked to us.  And the basic news is that surgery went as planned, but he reiterated that because of how quickly the tumor reappeared that follow up treatment will most likely be needed.  Follow up treatment could be radiation and/or chemo.  But we need to wait 2 to 3 weeks until pathology results come back and his brain heals before deciding on exact treatment.
