It has been months since my last post - sorry! I had a crazy summer (a move, a severe car accident, a new baby, etc) but here is the latest on my Mom...
We are at it again. Mom started acting a little "loopy" again so my Dad brought her to the hospital. Sure enough, they detected brain swelling, suspected to be caused by the same tumor they operated on back in March (in the right frontal lobe).
I believe she is going in to see the neurologist tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept 27th) so hopefully we can get some answers - at least discuss options for treatment if there are any. My family - with our 22 month old & 1.5 week old in tow - went to see her last weekend, since my Dad made this possible return of the tumor sound pretty grim. It was nice that she got to see her grandkids again, and of course I always love spending time with her, too. It's been an adjustment for me - we used to live 35 minutes away and I'd go there at least once a week. Now, being 5 hours away the visits have become few and far between.
Now we wait again.... wait to see if the steroids and other medications she is on is to help prepare her for another surgery, round of radiation, or to just add to her quantity of life.
I'll keep everyone in the loop. Thanks, as always, for your prayers and support.
