Wednesday Afternoon, May 22nd

Mom just got back from her appointment with her neurologist. Everything is looking good. She just reiterated what they already knew for the most part. The neurologist can be a bit of a pessimist so when she said she was "cautiously optimistic" it made my mom pretty happy. She also said given that the tumor is indeed cancer, it as benign as it can possibly be. The doctor was able to adjust her anti-seizure med dosage. Hopefully this will make her a little more stable mentally. She has an appointment with her neurosurgeon on Friday to get her stitches taken out and to get a quick check up.

The results of the tumor lab culturing still haven't come back yet and we won't know the treatment action for another few weeks. They have a panel of neurologists and oncologists that will be reviewing the lab results and will deciding the best course of action.

Oh last thing, the food everyone has brought by has been amazing! A quick tip of the cap to the Parkinsons, Hazens, Doverspikes and Petrosis for bringing us dinner the last few nights and a thank you in advance to all that are scheduled! You have truly made the evenings a little easier!

Thanks again for all of the prayer and support.
