I really admire your resilience Jade, this is such a tough thing to have to deal with and I'm so glad you're able to recover at home now.

[@MayumiSaegusaShiba]

This sounds like a terrifying experience. I’m happy to hear that the surgery went well, I hope your recovery will be quick. Wishing you all the best!

[@TamikaMichelle]

Hope you are doing well.

[@remmary100]

You had the best thing and the worst thing happen, all in one day. The birth of your precious, long awaited, son and being diagnosed with a brain tumor. I hope you are feeling better and life is slowly returning to normal. Hugs from Michigan.

[@literarydiversions]

I'm so glad to hear that you're on the other side of this but I am SO sorry that you had to go through all of it, especially right after having a baby and wanting to spend as much time with him as possible. Sending you so much love! ❤️❤️

[@TheBookFinch]

Having known people who have died from brain tumors this made me really anxious. I am hoping that your recovery goes well and that the growth is benign. Fingers crossed and everything. And lots of love. 😥💖💕

[@jb7555]

So sorry to hear about your health issues Wish you a fast and full recovery.

[@elianalicheva]

You are one mother hero! I admire what youvw bee through, how calm you talk about it and I can only take example from you. I wish you all best and pray everything will be fine soon.

[@matthias5048]

My sincere best wishes for a speedy recovery 💜

[@arp711]

Oh Jade, I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry for what you've been through, and am so so glad you got through the surgery and are doing okay, or at least as okay as can be hoped. Sending lots of love and prayers (if they are welcome) for continued recovery 💜💜💜

[@amusicalbookworm]

[@cappuccinocrafts2412]

I am so sorry you have had to go through all of this. I am glad that the surgery went well and that you will be OK. I am happy you have your son and can now recover and move on from this surgery with your family and friends. I hope that you have a restful and peaceful 2022.

[@PonderingsOfPete]

I’m glad that this was found before surgery became impossible and that surgery went well. Wishing you a speedy and peaceful recovery

[@carolinesmash7119]

Hope everything goes smoothly and that recovery is quick. I’m sorry you have to go through this, let alone as a new mama

[@stacymccaskill-lilja2944]

You have been put through the ringer this year. I am so sorry you had to go through all of this, but I am grateful that your surgery went well. I wish you a speedy and full recovery, and hope that you enjoy the holiday season with your family. Prayers for all of you. 💕🙏

[@MegBookishRamblings]

I'm so sorry you had to have this kind of experience especially so soon after having your son. I'm glad they were able to locate the tumor, that you had a successful surgery having it removed and I hope your recovery will be as smooth as possible.

[@erinlee2431]

Glad you are post-op now! Will be thinking of you and your family and sending healing vibes your way!

[@beLIEver31415]

So sorry to hear about your health issues at what is "supposed to be" such a happy time with your new baby. You and your family are in my prayers and I hope you have the least pain quickest recovery possible :)

[@kmrhod]

[@JasonsWeirdReads]

[@jennifersantucci1855]

Jade, congratulations on your baby! And I’m so sorry about your health situation. I hope your recovery is going well and that you’re able to enjoy your son.

[@carolinafuglister9212]

I'm sorry to hear everything you had to go through. Many ups and downs this year - it's all over. I admire your resiliance and that you are brave enough to share your story with us. Hope you are recovering well and can enjoy your son the way you want ❤️❤️❤️

[@bansheethereader9074]

Taking care of a newborn baby by itself is so tough. I can't even imagine having to deal with such serious health problems at the same time. I really admire your strength. I hope your recovery is going well!

[@SFF180]

This is all so startling and frightening to hear, but I’m glad you have such excellent medical care. It’s good that the tumor was found and was operable! Wishing you a complete recovery and happy future. 🙂

[@jannarosereads4805]

wow Jade! So glad you are ok and are going to be ok!

[@LiaCooper]

omg Jade this is A Lot, i'm glad to hear you're doing ok post surgery though sending positive vibes and digital hugs

[@jasmined9394]

Oh wow that's such a shocker to have dropped on you! I'm very sorry. How terrifying. We've had some neurological shit happen in my family - we've had two traumatic brain incidents (concussions) with my mum in thr last year or so, and my brother survived a germanoma brain tumor in high school, the effects of which still follow him. I sure hope that long term you heal up quickly and feel back to normal. Short term, of course, is just survival and getting through the healing process. Sending you all the love and healing vibes. Long distance hugs!

[@TheRASDEL83]

I cannot start to understand the amount of courage that you have not only for being able to go through this but also for sharing this on this platform. Best wishes for you and your family!

[@ZamWeazle]

Really glad it went ok! Much love to you and family Jade.

[@melanievanderwesthuizen5802]

Wow Jade, I'm so sorry. You have been through so much these last couple of months. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure it will bring comfort to people who are going through the same thing. You are incredibly strong and brave. I'm glad you are out of surgery and I hope your recovery will be speedy and that everything will go well. Giving you all our support 💜💙💚 You've got this! 🌻

[@gracecunningham6869]

As we know you have had your surgery from your edits...I am so glad you are on your road to recovery. It was such a scary thing to go through after your journey to becoming a Mom. Hopefully you recover 100% and can enjoy your new son and family for many years! Prayers to your family!!

[@LucieReads]

I'm so sorry this is happening Jade. Glad to hear the surgery went well & hope your recovery is speedy and ccontinues going well 💞

[@BookishRaider]

Sending so much love and positive thoughts your way!

[@Zugzug386]

Hello Jade, Thank you for sharing and talking about this subject openly. I have a relative that has been going through chemo treatment for a brain tumor and is a young mother. It is a scary sudden thing but everyone in family and friends is doing what they can to marshal around them and do what they can to help. I hope your family and friends circle do the same for you so you have any and all support you need. Take care and hope your holidays are as peaceful and restful as possible.

[@Saidor570]

So sorry you had to endure this, especially at these times :( But I'm glad you're recovering :)

[@milom5030]

We love you and hope it won't be that scary. Take care, rest and spent time with your baby boy❤ And wgen you come back you'll be stronger than ever!

[@Siansonea]

I can't imagine dealing with all this while trying to care for and bond with a newborn. I am so glad you're on the mend.

[@EmilyHall417]

So so glad the surgery went well and wishing you the absolute best with the recovery! So much to process in such a short amount time but I hope you're doing okay.

[@divaa82]

I'm sorry to hear you've had such a difficult experience but thankful that your surgery was successful and your baby is healthy. Best wishes on all things moving forward and I hope next year will be a lot better. Hugs!

[@LetsReadSFF]

Best wishes for the future. Heck of a journey, but glad to hear that the outlook is positive. Hoping the best for your recovery.

[@niebieskie2]

OMG you are so brave and awesome for sharing all your big life moments with the world. So happy for you that you had your baby and he's healthy. I am sending you all the good and healing vibes, I know things will go well for you. Just give yourself time to heal and recover. You are so brave and remember that you are stronger and more resilient than you think! XOXO

[@dawnhermann3352]

Sending you so much love and prayers ❤️

[@michelepastele5347]

Incredible what you and your family have been through. Sending healing thoughts and wishing you and your family strength and optimism during this time! x

[@quillpennews]

So happy to hear you are doing okay. Such a scary experience. Take care 🙂

[@ReadingthePattern]

Wow, Jade! You are incredibly strong to have gotten through these past few months. I’m so sorry that your birth and post partum experience is not what it should have been because of this but I’m so glad you and your son are OK. It’s hard enough to be a mom to a newborn without also dealing with your own medical crisis. I’m sure recovery will be extremely difficult but you’ve got this. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.

[@ethan-scott]

You got this, my friend

[@bookishplantmom371]

This entire experience must be so scary and tough. I'm glad you are safe and recovering. Sending you and your family so much love!

[@robbien19]

I'm glad the surgery went well and you are recovering now! I know every situation is different, but my mom had a meningioma too. Hers was also VERY large. But she is now 5 years out from surgery and she is doing amazing, there are so many things that have gotten better that she didnt even know were because of the tumor! So I pray that you have a similar experience and that you heal quickly and can enjoy your new baby!!

[@natasagajic1061]

I'm so glad to hear that your surgery went well and that you're doing ok now 💖

[@rouxellereads]

I am so happy you and your baby are okay ♥️ I wanted to watch as soon as I saw the video but I had to mentally prepare myself

[@ThatsSoPoe]

16 hours... 😰 Glad your surgery team was a good one! That's intense. I hope you recover fully soon, and am glad you're getting to spend lots of time with your family now!

[@FIT2BREAD]

You are very brave and I am in awe of you.

[@Sparkyn321]

How are you? How’s recovery?

[@MrMalchore]

Very sorry to listen to your health issues. I'm glad to hear you were able to give birth to your son. I also had brain surgery (resection they call it.) I had Pilocytic Astrocytoma (a.k.a grade 1 Astrocytoma) at age 37, which is quite rare for someone my age. That type of tumor is most often diagnosed in teenagers. After the resection I had advanced expressive aphasia for a few weeks. You could talk to me, and I'd understand ever word you said but within 15-20 seconds it would just evaporate from my brain and I wouldn't remember what you JUST said.

[@karolovesbooks2233]

I'm glad you're going to be ok

[@ReadingAce]

Oh Jade, what a rollercoaster this has been for you and your family! Very glad to know the surgery went well and that you have your healthy baby boy to come home to. Hopefully everything will get better from now on! I apprecate you sharing this with us. Wishing you all the best for your recovery.

[@kittyshiv]

wow! the strength from you is inspiring.. must have been really difficult to post this, thank you

[@TheCheppih]

I’m so sorry this happened to you! And on top of even going through it at all, you had to go through it during the time that should be the happiest in your life. I can't even imagine the fear you must have suffered through. Thank you for sharing your experience, it really puts things in perspective. But I am so so glad that you are now ok and recovering. I wish you and your family all the best and I hope you will be completely recovered and healed as soon as possible ❤️

[@bgolferman]

i'm so sorry to hear this.. I remember a while back, maybe a few years ago you were complaining about double vision and got a prism in your glasses to help with double vision, do they think that could have been triggered by the tumor? I wish you all the best in your recovery.

[@masterskibum]

Rooting for you Jade! You got this 💪

[@nomadictree5795]

I hope you and your family are well. Happy holidays.

[@nkkkkiz]

Hi how is everything! Thinking about you ❤️

[@m_chupon5131]

Just finished The Lost Metal by Sanderson, was really good! Hope everything's going ok, or if not I hope it starts trending in that direction.

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

Sorry for your news. Hang in there.

[@ashleyerin7348]

🧡🧡🧡 Surgery is so scary. I can’t imagine what it must be like having to undergo brain surgery, especially so soon after giving birth. I’m so glad to hear it went well and I’m hoping you are now able to spend time with your baby and your family. 🧡🧡🧡

[@JashanaC]

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@WorkingManReads]

I will be praying for you to get back to normalcy. Horrible that you are going through this. I want to say congratulations for your baby andi bet you are a awesome mom. 📚👍

[@laraelwing]

Hi Jade, I am glad you've come through 🙏🏻 Best wishes on your recovery. I did go through something similar in 2014, I had symptoms like dizziness that got worse until it was discovered I had a huge schwanoma tumor in my hearing nerve. I had surgery, thank god it was benign and after some 4 months I had recovered from the major issues I was left with: coordination and strength for walking. I did loose my hearing on the left side and I have a long standing Bell Palsey, which improved some but years later I still have issues with my eye. Just this year I had 2 surgeries on my eyelid because of complications with the weight I had as an implant, and I'm a few weeks away from another head surgery 😞 I have a titanium mesh on the spot of the surgery, and 7 years after it started to give me trouble, and it was discovered it is infected and it has to be removed. I'm glad it will be so much simpler than the other surgery, but you can imagine after going through what you just did: we don't want head surgery ever again 😄 But I'm living one day at a time, dealing with the fears. My doctor tells me it should take 1h 🙏🏻 No ICU may be needed, and then it's just some weeks of antibiotics which I may have to be in hospital to take, or maybe at home. I'm hoping for that, but mostly I'll just be glad to be done with it before the year is over. Waiting almost 3 months has been so stressful, I can't really enjoy anything with that weight on me. Sorry for the big comment 😉 just want to let you know I've been where you are now and that you'll be fine 😊💕 Just believe in your amazing resourceful body, and trust physiotherapy 🙏🏻 It put me back on my feet literally.

[@wordsofclover]

Oh my goodness, sending all my love to you and your family. I'm so glad your surgery went okay and that you're recovering well. Wishing you all the best!

[@Jessica-bt6rw]

You are sooo lucky that ur facial nerves weren't damaged permanently and healed! Thank God it's benign.. No one knows they have a BT until something terrible happens :(

[@lieslherman]

Oh man Jade, I know there's not really words to say that will make any of this better, but my heart just hurts for you and I am so so glad you made it through the surgery OK, and I know all of us are cheering for you. Having a newborn is hard enough, but this on top of it? Life just threw you the hardest curveball it could. I imagine there's still a lot of shock because this all happened so fast, but I really do think you are handling this with a lot of grace and strength, and someday your son is going to brag about how amazing and badass his mother is. I don't know whether it was a blessing or a curse that they discovered the tumor this way, but at least now it's done and overwith and I hope your path to recovery isn't full of hardship. So much love to you and your fam, and I hope it's only up from here.

[@naterudolph4035]

I suppose you're still in recovery at this point. You've clearly survived and are well enough to edit videos. So I'm glad you're doing well. I have kids, so I know how demanding taking care of an infant is; if you can't do much, that must be difficult in its own way. I hope that this extra time at home with your son is a blessing to you both.

[@ReadandFindOut]

I’ve been thinking of you and your family Jade! ❤️ I’m glad that the surgery went well, and I’m wishing you the very best recovery!

[@grafffuller3265]

Wow. Yes, not an easy video to do...especially a week before your surgery. We are so thankful that all went well. Both Marie and I teared up during this video...knowing the unknown lingering in the near future. But, you were never out of our thoughts. Okay, this is a Wheel of Time reference, and I hope it doesn't come off glib or irreverent, but you have an understanding for Mat's character...with all his holes in his memory. Sorry that THAT is what I thought of, but you know me...Wheel of Time is on my brain all the time. We hope in time, things will find their way to reconnect and repair. The human body is an incredible organism. I think the expectation of the surgery had to have been so difficult. We were thinking about you. You were not alone. We are glad that you're back and we await your first post-surgery video with bated breath. Take your time, but know that you are missed. The BookTube community misses you (at least Marie and I do) and I expect SO many others. Thank you for making this video. I do believe videos like this are helpful to so many people (more than we could ever know). Much appreciated. Again, thank you and get well. BTW - about the hearing loss...have you seen the effects of that in that ear...and since the surgery...(if there was hearing loss) have you noticed improvement? Just wondering.

[@IShouldReadThat]

I’m sending you a big squishy hug! I hope the surgery went well, and sending all the good vibes to you and your lovely family. Please let me know if you need anything 💕

[@KFoxtheGreat]

I'm so glad to hear the surgery went well and that you're recovering. I can't imagine the anxiety you were experiencing throughout all of this. Thank you for including us and keeping us up to date with your videos and other posts. Sending you positive vibes and prayers for a speedy recovery ❤
