Take recovery a day at a time Bri. You have been through a major trauma. Post op recovery is going well by the sounds of it. Your eating healthy taking your meds as prescribed and getting your walks in. You have an intact support system and everyone is pulling for you. Sending positive vibes and ❤️ 😊
You are such a loving couple. It’s good to see Bri walking and getting some sunshine. Tahoe is beautiful and a glorious place to live. Praying for continued healing and a full recovery for Bri. 🙏
Such a beautiful place to be healing in. I know how comforting and peaceful it is just to watch it on video, it has to be so much deeper for you. To smell the fresh air, the aroma of pine on a breeze... May the healing spirit of the Lord be with you in each breath Bri...
❤❤❤ Good to hear that things are getting better. So glad you've got love and support from Dan, your parents, and your pooches and pals. Everyone is cheering for you, Bri!
Hi Bri! I live in SLT and had an open awake craniotomy Nov 27, 2023 for a brain tumor. I am 2 months out and despite my worst fears during the healing process, I am feeling almost normal again! I have a picture of me sitting on a patio, face tilted toward the sun, in the Airbnb we stayed at near UCSF- just like this last shot of you doing the same. The warmth of sun on my face- something I’ll never take for granted again. Keep hope and let yourself be held by the love of others- it gets better. Sending you lots of love. -Amanda
Amanda this is great news- so glad to hear you are doing well with your recovery!! I can only imagine an awake craniotomy was a whole increased level of stress during the surgery- best wishes on your continued recovery!
We wish the best for you Bri and Dan. You've graciously shared your life with us and we ( my wife and I) appreciate a glimpse into it.. it's very interesting and entertaining, thank you. Bri looked like she was doing much better at the end
Take time to rest without pressuring yourself to do too much. Sleep can be a source of healing. It just takes time. Thanks for sharing your experience. You’re very brave, and Dan is a wonderful care giver. Best thoughts to you both.
Your love for one another makes me cry with deep joy. Again….good vibes Bri….you are doing amazing!! 🤩 I hope when we get back up to SLT in May/June we get to introduce Lou Lou Bell to both Penny and Bella, maybe at Kiva? We are “elderly” but young at heart. ❤️ The love and life you both live….wow!! Ya’ll will be walking the planet for a good, long and loving life. 👍 😊❤ Gonna look into making a Lentil Shepards pie now. YUMMY! 😊
Yes….with her little brother Cody. Lou Lou is the one giving ‘attitude’! LOL! My sister is Cody’s doggy mommy. I wish I could attach a current pic of her…she is 2 years old now, but I am not all that savvy on TH-cam. I’ll try and upload one. Just so relieved and happy to see Bri doing so well and again our deepest of gratitude for your fantastic posts. Your channel lifts our spirits as we vicariously live through your adventures. We have “seasoned” bones now, so we are a tad more cautious of our activities. 😮👍 😂
Sending you huge hugs from Sunny Florida Bri. Im so proud of you & how you are dealing with this very difficult & challenging time in your life. You are stronger then you know 💙❄💙 Dan, you are also handling this difficult time with grace, kindness & love towards your wife. 💙 Im guessing that Bri's parents are in these vids and sending them huge hugs also 💙
This is so very sweet- thank you Jan! Yes, those are Bri's parents who have been so very helpful during this time as well- we are so grateful for them!
Ugh! You two are the best couple! I'm so grateful she didn't get an infection, my friend did with one of his surgeries and it wasn't a good situation. Her incision looks amazing, it's healing up so fast! I just watched the other video for today, I'm glad she got the surgery when she did with so much snow on the way.
It's so wonderful seeing you feeling well enough to be walking in your neighborhood. In addition to the normal shock a body goes through with any post operative period, you are recovering from interruption within the computer to your body, your brain. All those sensitivities you are talking about will calm down and eventually go away.The Dexamethazone is a life saver but difficult to sleep when taking it and coming off of it. Enjoy our wonderful new snow. Penny & Bella so sweet loving on Mommy. Peace & comfort to the family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Recovery is such a complex process. Rest, good food, family, friends, and fur kids. Your video journey will definitely help others going through this process. I'm amazed at your progress! Keep the positive outlook!
Recovery will take time. My tumour was larger and the operation way longer. Strength, determination, knowing when to rest is key. Baby steps and it takes as long as it takes. You're here to tell that journey. Xx
I just came upon this beautiful video. Thank you for being so real and authentic! I had same surgery for my eyes as well, on 3/22/24. We had a very similar journey - the exhaustion is the worst. I am still dealing with that! Sending you more moments of joy from NH!
Hi Bri and Dan. My wife and I send our best wishes for a speedy recovery. We live in Reno and I had a craniotomy for an egg-sized left frontal meningioma last June. Now, a little over 7 months later, I feel great and all my symptoms are gone. I was pretty much back to feeling normal after a few weeks and especially after 30 days when I went off the anti-seizure medicine. The anti-seizure meds made me sleepy and as soon as I went off them it seemed that I got a huge energy boost. It sounds like your doing well and I just want to say "Don't rush it and get a lot of rest. It does get better and in no time you'll be back to normal."
Hi- thank you so much for your comment! So great to hear that you feel back to normal! I think Bri's experience is similar that the meds had a big impact on her. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Bri, you look like you're doing a LOT better. I know it takes time to recover, but it looks like you and your support team are doing everything right. Great public service from you all and to preach patience when recovering from such a surgery. You're all great!
Bri, you are doing so incredibly great so far. I am amazed. But please do not be discouraged if you don’t feel a faster rate of recovery. You have had a very intense and traumatic surgery to your body. You are in the season of healing. It came, and now it has to go through it’s designated time to complete its days. But every season goes through different cycles. Just like last winter. It went on and on and on and on. This year it has trickled. Allow yourself to allow the time for your body to heal. You are doing well to do small walks and rest. Rest. Rest. Kudos to Dan for his tender care. I kept a journal of meds with time schedule and names. I find that dates are a better solution for digestion instead of stool softeners. Take your time. Praying with my sisters for your continued recovery. 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖 Thank God for dogs.
Thank you for the update. Looking back is sometimes good so that you can see your progress. Keep paying attention to when you need a break or when you feel you can do a little more. Continuing to pray for your complete healing!
Thank you both for sharing this journey with us who care about you. Bri you are so strong and have such a great attitude. And what a beautiful marriage you and Dan have. Such a blessing to see and hear. I hope your healing goes smoothly, Bri, and the changes you feel will be a wonderful and noticeable encouragement for your life.
way to go Bri and you too Dan as this affects you too! it so amazes me that they could do her surgery through hair and then staple it and no infections. wow.
Momma bear is exhausted. I am also a nurse and took care of my father after craniotomy . But he had melanoma brain cancer so unfortunately he didn’t survive. Take care and go slow as you need to. Take in the beauty of your new life and your beautiful of your healing surroundings. Namaste 🙏🏼
Bri, I am praying for your complete recovery everyday. Prayer is powerful and the Lord always answers my prayers. So I am confident you are going to be alright. Please read Psalm 91. You can Google it. It's about how the Lord loves you and protects you from harm. I read this Psalm every day. Sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery so you can get outdoors again with your wonderful husband. God Bless.
Glad to hear the staples are coming out soon. Please be sure that all get removed…I had a few left by mistake after my DBS surgery. They were a little challenging to remove later. Best wishes!
Hey, quick question. I live in SoCal orange county but was wondering about the cost of living in Lake Tahoe? I’ve been following you guys on Bri’s heading journey and been praying for you guys since I heard about it. Much love and Godspeed healing. Peace and love to you both.
Hi- Thank you so much. I think that cost of living in Lake Tahoe is more than some areas of CA, but not as much as the Bay area or Southern CA. Things like gas, groceries and building materials can be more expensive in the basin due to less competition and the tourist nature of the market here. As far as rentals and buying homes- things really shot up during COVID. South Lake continues to be the most affordable town around the basin though. Zillow says the average home value in South Lake is around $650,000 in Dec '23. A lot of homes here though are older and smaller cabins without garages, so quite different than other areas of the US.

The puppers seem to know that Bri is hurting. Be safe....walk carefully on those wood decks when you get out to enjoy the snow
The pups- especially Bella- seem to be aware that something big happened. They have been so helpful to cheer up Bri during this time.
I like the new intro to your vlogs, Dan
Thanks Jeffrey- much appreciated! I have been meaning to do that for awhile now.
We wish the best for you Bri and Dan. You've graciously shared your life with us and we ( my wife and I) appreciate a glimpse into it.. it's very interesting and entertaining, thank you. Bri looked like she was doing much better at the end
She is getting there day by day- thank you for your support!
Bri is definitely tough. You guys make a great team
Thank you!

Thanks Suzi! Sorry to hear your friend got an infection. We did have lucky timing with traveling with the snow and her appointments.

Thank you! It has been so good to get outside for little bits of time again for her.
Keeping Bri in my prayers for a complete recovery from her operation! May the Lord bless her and her family as they walk this journey together.
Thank you so much!
Wow so many flowers. A jungle. Beautiful. Glad you are getting stronger. Home the best place with the puppies and beautiful view and sweet husband.
Bri has loved the flowers - very uplifting for her.
Recovery is such a complex process. Rest, good food, family, friends, and fur kids. Your video journey will definitely help others going through this process. I'm amazed at your progress! Keep the positive outlook!
