• Update on Mom

  As you can imagine we have been making sure Mom is comfortable and
  getting everything she needs while she recovers from her surgery. She
  seems to be doing much better emotionally. I really think she had a
  reaction to coming of the highs of the meds and then seeing her
  incision on half of her head was a bit scary at first. With that said,
  she continues to need your prayers!

      1) Tuesday she is going in to have her staples removed. All 21 of
  them! Yes, my crazy brother actually counted them. We still have not
  heard anything from her pathology report. We are assuming this will be
  Tuesday.

      2) Mom is now experiencing side effects of the surgery. PLEASE pray
  that the Lord will protect her from any long term harm of the surgery. Currently
  she is having moments of complete tingling numbness in three of her
  fingers and her mouth on the left side. The concern is that she could
  start having seizures as well.

      3) Mom is also suffering constant headaches. She has always had
  migraines so now she suffers not only with them but now a constant,
  pressure feeling since surgery.

  The kids have all been visiting with their Memere twice now! They
  brought her carnations (her favorite cut flower), cards they each made
  and their movie CARS for her to watch while she recovers. It was so
  cute that they wanted to bring her their favorite movie.
