Thank you all for so much encouragement and advice! I think its what I needed. I have a bit of good news to share in this otherwise dreary story...we found this out yesterday!
update...Mri results on my mother...those of you who know whats going on and are waiting and praying need to hear. The dr. was just as shocked as us with the news. He hoped for some improvement but because of how bad it was and her state of health feared the worst. ...Uh....the tumor has shrunk...80 percent!!! OMG... none of us dared to even hope for something like that! Her decreased state is because of brain swelling due to harsh radiation. This means we continue the fight!! In the immortal words of Charlie Sheen...WINNING! lol....Thank you all for the continued prayers!
Because of my flare up I haven't gotten to be with her in the last few days but am getting the updates via my daughters. I took your advice so instead of just wallowing in my torture, I went back to the dr. He gave me a an additional steroid bolis . I now have enough steroids coursing thru my veins to choke a horse....If I come across one I JUST MIGHT DO IT! He also gave me adavan which is new to me. I took it along with my ambien but it seems to have the opposite effect. Its 4 in the morning and Im awake. Still feel to bad to get up and be productive but it did calm me a bit. Maybe tomorrow will be better with that med added.
I wish I knew how to add a pic of my sweet mother to the post because you would just want to hug her and see who you are praying for!
Thanks again for the prayers and well wishes..I know it lifts me up as much as her!
I hope to repay the favor some day with a story of gladness and triumph!!
Love
