There isn't anything I can say that already has not been said. I have been through this with my mom also. It didn't turn out good for us, but it is a blessing that she is not in pain anymore, and smiling down on us everyday.

Hurry back so we can chew the fat.
Pork fat, that is.

As of this evening not much has changed. She spent most of the day sleeping off and on because of the seizure medication. Yesterday there was a screw up and she only got about half the dosage she should have gotten but that got corrected this morning.

The neuroligist is giving her medicine to stop swelling in the tumor in hopes that maybe it is still benign but we don't know anything yet.

She can still think clearly and has good strength in her body. She just can't talk most of the time. She still says there is no pain. I know she's scared, but its so hard to understand what she's trying to say, most of the time I feel just as helpless as I know she does. She has been crying alot when people come to visit or when they have to leave. I think that hurts the most.

I really appreciate all of the prayers and kind words. I am hoping that tomorrow will bring better answers and maybe even a miracle.

Thank you all,
Tony

Today was a better day. We still don't know anything, but Mom is doing a little better. She can talk a little clearer now. The new seizure medicine seems to be helping a little.

Still haven't heard anything from the oncologist or neuroligist to see what if anything can be done about the tumor. We're hoping to get some answers tomorrow.

It's nice to be able to talk to her, even though she's still hard to understand.

Her mental capacity is still good, the tumor or seizures haven't seemed to affect that. She was talking to her boss and telling him how everything needed to be handled while she's out. She said she's gonna think about retiring soon. I was glad to hear her say that, because to me it means she hasn't given up hope.

I haven't been sleeping to well so I'm a bit wore out. I'll post up more as I find out more. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
