Update On Mom 02.04.10

Mom is doing as well as to be expected right now.  She spends most of the evenings when we get home from work laying on the couch to ease her headaches.  It seems as though her headaches are becoming more frequent, and I would imagine it would be from any growth that may be occurring in her tumor.

We made a visit to the University of Tennessee a couple of weeks ago, and had an appointment for the University of Georgia, but ended up cancelling it after talking with and deciding to visit John Hopkins in Baltimore.  The idea of having a team that is dedicated solely to neurological surgeries and a doctor that genuinely seems to care about his patients, was the major deciding factors.  It’s not that we didn’t like UT, it’s just that it’s a one chance surgery, and we can’t risk any damage or losing mom because the place happened to be closer and more convenient.
