Praise God!!!!

Here is an email from Curtis Bergman, Joanna's husband....
Thanks for all your prayers, God is good....continue to lift them up, as she recovers!

Praise the Lord, Joanna came through the surgery well! It was a long surgery (8 hours), at 6:00pm she went into recovery, and we talked to the doctor. He was pleased with how things went. She responded well to questions during and after the surgery which is a good sign as far as brain damage goes. She knew my name, that's good! The doctor said he got about 90% of the tumor which is good. If he had tried to get all of it their would likely be major brain damage as the tumor has fingers in the surrounding tissue. The initial test from pathology was good, showing a benign tumor however the doctor was very hesitant to say that it is all benign until they test more pieces of it. It will be a few weeks before we know the final word on what it is and whether more treatment is required. For now Joanna is recovery in ICU for at least a day, and she might be able to leave the hospital Monday or Tuesday. She is very weak and probably won't be up for visits on Saturday. We are thanking God for the outcome of todays surgery! We have all be comforted and encouraged to know how many are praying her, thanks
God is good!
