a week ?????
thats some fast healing after a major op..especially in the brain.
...sending you and your family lots of hugs from NZ.

Update:On my brother......
 

Sense my brothers surgery,he was having headaches for a while,He is on more chemo now,he has been in the hospital for a while.,and will probably be in there for a bit longer.Then he'll have a little break and have to do it all over again,.this will repeat a couple of times from my understanding. He has been having some complications,but I don't know completely everything that's going on.
I don't even know if we'll all be together for Christmas...:(. cause I choose to stay with my "aunt" in Iowa for the couple of weeks instead of staying alone.... which would of meant,me not going anywhere,cause I don't drive right now. or going to my dad's and that would of been basically the same thing.... lol so were trying to figure out how to get me home safely....That's pretty much it...for now.

Sending my best thoughts and wishes for your brother's recovery.
