Time for rest...

Below is another update from my mom regarding dad's radiation today:

Mike is at home now resting - the doctors said they thought the radiation went well and that they were able to target the tumor precisely - we'll really be able to tell in about 3 months when he has his next brain MRI.  He is on meds for swelling and pain though right now he has very little of both.  To clear up something I said earlier - Mike's WHOLE procedure took 6 hours - which included medicating him, screwing the harness on his head, computations for the radiation, etc.  The radiation alone only took about 1 hour.  Sorry if any of you thought the radiation alone was 6 hours!  Thank you all for praying for him - we definitely felt the Lord's presence today!
