Update after first surgery

Lila's surgery went well and she is now recovering and sleeping beside her mama. She has already requested a Popsicle. 

The tumor is malignant as expected, but we won't know about the exact type and stage until tomorrow or Friday. 

They were glad that the tumor is not coming from her ovaries or uterus. It is very vascular, however, and to remove it would have made her lose a lot of blood and they didn't want to put her through a stay in the ICU and a blood transfusion without knowing what kind of tumor it was. 

They have a first and second guess about the tumor type, and both respond well to chemo treatments. She will probably begin chemo as soon as some pathology reports come in (first one tomorrow, second one Friday, then a DNA test with results in 7-10 days). 

The chemo would be used to shrink or melt away the tumor with a surgery possible later to remove the remaining mass. 

We are so humbled and blessed by your prayers! Thank you for loving our little girl.
