Ben is out of surgery

Here is the news so far:
1. Tumor was benign
2. Tumor was removed successfully
3. There were cysts on Ben's spinal cord that the surgeon hopes were being fed by the tumor. We are hopeful that these cysts will drain on their own now that the tumor has been removed, but if they don't, they could require surgery to drain them in the future.
4. We still don't know how much rehab Ben will need, but we should find out soon.
5. Ben will be in the ICU tonight for sure.
6. Best of all, we get to see him again in a couple of hours.

Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. I will update again soon.
