mommasexperience

My dear sweet momma has developed a brain tumor--specifically a glioblastoma multiforme. This is an update of all of the details of her treatments and her recovery. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and concern. My new favorite quote: "Humans are like tea bags, you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."

Wednesday 1/11 Update

Momma had a good day yesterday. When I got home from work, she was pretty alert and was answering questions by nodding or shaking her head, which she was not doing earlier in the week. On Sunday, it seemed she could not see or hear us but last night, she certainly could and was very responsive. It felt so good to be able to tell her so many things and know that she was hearing them. She is still squeezing hands and arms and whatever else she can get a hold of; I almost lost a chunk of hair again this morning when I left for work!!! Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to think of her... these good days are so very precious now.

    Tara,
    I can't even put into words how much I am thinking of you guys and praying for you. Political differences aside:)you are part of my family and your momma is one of the nicest humans in the whole wide world. Take care of her and take care of yourself and don't hesitate to ask for anything. You have been so great to Claudia we can't wait to return the favor. Denise, Eric and Claudia

    She is one of the best huggers and squeezers I've ever known ( : I know each one is indeed even more precious to all of you right now. Please don't forget to give and get one for me.

    This is Sherron from San Antonio. Richard and family, mine and David's thoughts are so very much with you. We enjoyed your visit with us in San Antonio this summer and was so glad Teri allowed me, Melanie and Jordan to visit with her and my sister Pat N. at the house in Gulf Shores last winter. I am so glad you are getting to spend some good days together.

    Oh Tara, Please make sure one of those hugs is from all of us here in Ohio. Just wish we could be there in person to pass them along.
    That certainly is a prayer of thanksgiving to Jesus. I will pass the news along to Aunt Gladys, she will be glad to hear it. Love, hugs and kisses, Cathy
