Peter's awake craniotomy was a success

Beloved Friends and Family,

It is with immense relief and gratitude that I write to tell you that Peter's awake craniotomy was a success.

We went into the Royal Brisbane and Women's hospital at 6:30 this morning, February 16th. The surgery took approximately five hours. I was allowed to be with Peter right up until they took him into the pre op room to commence anesthesia.

Peter was in very good and relaxed spirits. I am in awe of his deep courage and honored to be the woman at his side. He knew within himself that this was his next step on the healing journey and he took it with out falter.

I then went to the hospital chapel (the emptiest and most peaceful place in the hospital). I focused all the healing light, energy and love that I could gather for Peter and all the medical staff helping him through the surgery. It was a lot of light and a whole lot of love that I could sense around him. I felt him surrounded by a clear field of healing energy.

After much meditation and prayer Kylie (Peter's sister), Gandharaj (our good friend) and I waited to meet Peter. I got a call from one of the surgeons at approximately 2:00 Brisbane time letting me know that they had just completed surgery and he had just been moved to recovery. The surgeon said that the procedure had gone very well. He put emphasis on 'very well'.

Thank you God.

When we were finally allowed to see Peter again in the high dependancy unit he looked amazingly well. His color and vibrancy were good. He was very coherent and very grateful to hear that all had gone so well. He said he felt calm and helped through the whole thing. He was glad to be on the other side of it. He was having quite intense head ache at times but the nursing staff were good with getting that taken care of. At one point he looked up with sparkly eyes that looked both playful and knowing and said, "just wait till you see how quickly I heal." I say, "YES!!"

The plan is that he stay in the high dependancy unit for another day to make sure he remains stable and then to move him to the normal ward. He will remain in hospital for approximately five days and then be allowed home to the flat we are renting in Brisbane for another five days. When the doctors are satisfied that he is stable and well on the way to healing they will let us return back to Mullumbimby ... home, sweet home.

Peter asks that we all keep focusing our healing energies and prayer on his full and complete recovery. He is very appreciative of your love and blessings. As am I of course.

Tomorrow they will do an MRI and then be able to say just how much of the tumour they were able to get.

I'll update you as I can.

Life is precious and so are you. Thank you from my depths.

All my love,

Jennifer Lalor
