Thank God it wasn't a tumor.
My brother ended up in the hospital over the weekend, due to near-vision-loss causing migraines. For about half a day, all we knew was "they found something on the MRI." Thankfully, it turned out to be intracranial pressure from excess cerebral-spinal fluid. Apparently the valve-thing that drains it doesn't function properly. He had to have surgery and will have to have a subdermal tube-thingy drain excess into his abdomen for the rest of his life, but at least it wasn't brain cancer. Surgery is done now, everything went well and he's recovering. Should be released tomorrow or the day after.
*Whew* that was a scary couple of days!
