..... update:
We all made it to Shreveport, LA okay... we came in two separate vehicles because I had to work today...
We are all exhausted... it was a nice drive up here...
I already have a praise the LORD!!!
One of the neurosurgeons was able to examine past mri scans... he is going to remove not only Dave's aneurysm.... but also the last tumor!
Dave gets a two for one deal! Praise the LORD!!! 
Dave saw his surgeon in the hallway... and was set to ease by their conversation...
The girls, Dave, and I sat on his bed and held hands... each of us prayed... it was sooo special...
I will go back to the hospital at 5am... it will be a long day tomorrow...
I will post an update later on tomorrow...
Love always,
Rachel

..... I am exhausted and I need a good cry.
Dave's surgery started late... but of course... I didn't find out until it was all over.
Everything went VERY well... the doctor was indeed able to remove the aneurysm AND his last tumor... for this we are truly praising the LORD. This will most likely mean that Dave will be able to live through an entire day (hopefully many) without a huge headache...
He will be in ICU for 24-48 hours... then he will be moved to a room. Amazingly... the doctor says he will be able to come home this weekend.
I am at a loss as to what to do next...
It sounds like they want me to stay the rest of the week... and I am out of money...... I will have to wait and see what God wants me to do...
In all things... I give the glory to God... He's done amazing things in my life... in Dave's life... and since we've been married... God has watered some seeds in my childrens' lives...
I wouldn't trade this experience for anything... God is sooo good.
I'm running on two hours of sleep in the last 24 hours... so I think I will have a good cry and then the girls and I will head out to find some dinner...
I told Dave I would be back at 8 for a last visit today... (visitation in ICU is very limited)
Blessings my good friends....
I'll write more soon....
Love always,
Rachel

Glad to hear the great update. You go ahead and have that cry. I'm sure it's been a stressful day.
Praying specifically for finances and a quick and total healing.

..... a quick update...
God is amazingly and hugely loving!!!!!
My first visit today.... I told Dave of how I just sat with him late last night and let my tears fall... I explained the joy I have knowing that God has totally blessed him... yet seeing the pain he's going through as he heals...
His response.... "It's all God, Baby... I can do this!"
Dave's positive attitude is not marred by his pain... I love that guy!
...
God had provided through surprising circumstances and the girls and I will be staying until Dave is discharged this weekend.
Praise the LORD!!!!!
...
I am sooo thankful for all the calls, emails, thoughts, and prayers... It's so wonderful to know that I am not alone....
...
My goal today is to do some laundry... I may have been overzealous in my goal.... for now... I'm going to take a short nap and spend my afternoon at the hospital.... I may wait until the morning to do laundry... 
My other goal is to get the girls out of the room and do something a little silly and fun.... we will do that after I get back around 5pm...
...
Love you guys!!!
Always,
Rachel

I hope your silly and fun something or other involves ice cream.  That's my vote anyway.
Glad to hear your honey has a good attitude. That will surely help the healing!

...... mmmmmm I LOVE LOVE ice cream!!! :D
Dave is doing very well... he had an angiogram today... the purpose was to make sure that all his blood vessels are sealed up and healing...
The procedure added to Dave's pain... but he's such a trooper... and a wonderful patient. All the nurses love him.... he keeps them smilin' when he can!
Tomorrow will be a good day... we are anticipating a move into a normal room!!!! :D
This will be accompanied by longer visitation hours (yay!) and physical therapy.... ouch!
I am again so humbled and blown away by the outpouring of support and love....
I should be in bed... I HAVE to do laundry in the morning....
Love you all very much!!!
Rachel
Praises the my King....

Rach, I'm so glad that everything went so well with Dave's surgery. That's so awesome!
(((((((((((((((((((((RACH & DAVE)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I'm glad too that you can stay until the weekend with him.
Thanks for all the updates.
Did you end up doing something silly with the girls? Did it include icecream?

.... oh!! I totally forgot to tell!
Thanks, Trish!
I went swimming with them... even though I was tired... I swam and played with them... we all laughed and had fun... we were all exhausted by the time I needed to go back to the hospital again.
Updates.... Dave is getting better and better!!! He is able to struggle through short conversations... He was sitting up when I left him this afternoon... He should be moving into his new room tonight... tomorrow morning at the latest.
He is still laughing... he rocks.
I'm excited to go see him tonight... the girls want to swim again... so I will do my best to squeeze some fun with them in...
God is sooo good!
Blessings!
Rach
