Three days have passed since Tanya's surgery to remove a part of her skull to give her brain room to swell. The skull piece will be put back in at a later date. She is doing really well.

Tanya is now receiving food via tube feeder and they removed her IV; bandages on her head have been removed as well. Tanya is alert and communicating. She still has her sense of humor that we all love! She walked around a little.

Keep the nice comments coming in. Thanks for everyone's love and support.

I have not spoken with Tanya in years, but have watched her play hockey and it's her nature to conquer. Keep fighting Tanya, even when you don't want to. You are a beautiful person and the world needs you. Love Norm and Mary Jo Brownell

  47. Tanya -

    We are about the same age. We have similar initials. We played centre against each other every time we meet during provincial tournaments. I can remember some of our face-off moments, only because I remember both your strength and your nice, easy going smile :) You were my number one rival. Now that we have grown and sometimes played on the same team, I've gotten to know you as a person. With your strong, easy-going character, you'll pull through. Whether you make the face-offs from time to time, be sure you know you have a tight team behind you to bring the ball over to the offensive zone... and you got amazing fans as well :)

    Now with the latest news, you have shown us that the game is on. You go, Tanya and the team :)

  52. The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around.... Throughout history, "tender loving care" has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing. ~Larry Dossey
    With that said...I send you my LOVE, and wishes to a speedy recovery!

    Thank you for the opportunity to read the blog on your progression! Keep it up! Wave of hands and Big Hug!
