Mom had her biopsy this morning (long story, short-the biopsy/brushing of the tumor was never done...it kinda all slipped through the paperwork and no one noticed until now)...biopsy went well, and on Tuesday, March 1st (Lauren's 27th birthday!), Mom and Dad will meet again at Howard to go over results and the schedule for chemo and radiation. How could would it be for the tumor to be benign after all of this!? Anyhoo...As I said, the procedure went well, however Mom reacted very strongly to coming out of the sedation-nurses said that they haven't seen someone react so horribly in awhile before...lots of vomiting, weakness, etc. She is finally home now, and resting-hopefully resting enough to get the grossness out of her body.
So prayers right now:
-That Mom's biopsy gives all the rest of the info they need to proceed with the chemo and radiation-to "get this party started"!
-That Mom continues to recover today from her horrible reaction to the sedation!
-Courage for Mom for dealing with all the new doctors and medical procedures and surroundings-she's scared to death of hospitals and things like this, so it's been very hard for her (if you see her in person, try not to talk too much about the medical stuff, or the surgery,etc...just tell her how pretty she is! = ) )
*A Request*
-Mom and Dad have really been loving all the encouragement, but if you could limit it to just letters and notes, facebook messages, comments on here, even email, it would be appreciated right now. They're getting a little overwhelmed with the phone calls, and even though Mom is starting to let the answering machine do its job for awhile, she is exhausted at the end of the day, and there isn't much energy to talk on the phone. Her cards and notes remain faithfully at her side though, so she can pull them out and read them whenever she she needs a lift!
Thinking of you and praying!
