As crazy as it sounds, my sister, Brandy had brain surgery at the end of July. She had a 6x9 cm cyst that had been filling with fluid. The defect actually occurred before she was born, it just took 25 years for it to be a problem. With as large as the cyst was, we found it a little funny that she had been working on 1/2 a brain for so long. Who knows...she could have been a rocket scientist. But anyway, this summer was a little scary for everyone. It's not everyday that you have a family member that goes through something like that. I was amazed at our families strength during that time. The surgery involved draining the cyst and placing a shunt so that fluid would not accumulate again. Brandy was back to work in less than 3 weeks, which is amazing. Looking at her now, you wouldn't believe what her summer had entailed.
