<item><title>Steve Babb (Glass Hammer) update</title><description><![CDATA[Prog News posted by cstack3 &mdash; I'm "friends" with the remarkable bassist/band leader Steve Babb of Glass Hammer, and didn't know about his health issues!  He posted this to Facebook:  Brain Tumor: I hadn't been feeling myself for a long time, and it was getting worse. In mid-June, I was sent for an MRI that revealed a golf ball-sized brain tumor (meningioma). This was not on my radar at all and came completely unexpected. I was told it was probably benign, and thank God, that turned out to be the case.   About 2 weeks ago, I underwent a craniotomy to have it removed. According to a follow-up MRI the same day, it's completely gone now. I've got around 60 staples in my poor head (I'll spare you the ghastly pictures) and am dealing with a long, tiring recovery. God blessed me with a great team, including the best neurosurgeon in our area, I'm told. Julie has been an exceptional nurse here at home, and Jon Michael Babb came down for a week to help us get through the worst of it. They were both at my side throughout, and I don't know what I would've done without them! I'm up and moving around, still dealing with pain and fatigue. I'm expected to get through this, and I intend to do so! Still, your prayers would be appreciated.
