rossislider Report post Posted April 9, 2019 Thanks Andrew. Interestingly enough, it was on this hunt that the symptoms of her tumor really began to manifest. At the time we assumed it to be weather related. It wasn't until February that the tumor was diagnosed. Her surgery went almost 9 hours! But they were able to remove about 99% of the tumor. There was one point near the end where things went bad! I thought I was either going to lose my wife, or she would come out of it with severe brain damage. Fortunately, she had a team of pretty amazing surgeons. Two weeks later and she is ahead of pace on her recovery. She should be in great hunting shape by fall. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted April 9, 2019 I hadn't mentioned it previously, but during our 4 hour wait, we drove back into town to get the kids. We knew they would love to be there and see her bull. We had the idea to put them in camo with us for that year's family picture. I hadn't shared this picture previously because we ended up saving it for our family Christmas card. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a good problem that I hope to have. I hope to do a pedestal if we can turn up something special this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
