Prayers for "Jacks"
Donation protected
One of our own needs your help! Jacks worked for Knockouts for several years before relocating with her family out of state. Unfortunately we do not have a location were she moved otherwise I know she would still be with us. On
Friday it was confirmed that Jacks has an Inter-cranial Tumor on
the main nerve that goes between the ear and the brain. In most cases it is
slow growing and benign and usually about 1-2cm. Her surgeon's concern is that
hers is over 4cm which is rare for someone her age (she is 36). His hope is
that it is benign like they normally are but we won't know until a biopsy is
done later.
What we do know is...On June 17th she will be in surgery for 12 -20 hours. They will do their best to remove as much as possible but they will not be able to get it all due to the risk of nerve damage. She will be in the hospital at least 10 days and will definitely require radiation treatment at some point. There are huge risks and a long recovery road ahead but for now we are focusing on quiet peaceful family time and are going to leave the rest in God's Hands and with the professionals.
Jacks was stylist of the year in 2010 and we love her dearly! We hated to see her go but she will always be apart of the KO family. Any donation will go directly to Jacks to help pay for medical expenses.
