Grandma Pat's Brain Tumor

****************************
On January 8, 2001, Mom (Grandma Pat) finally told my sister she was having vision problems. An eye appointment was scheduled for Tuesday (1/9/01). Mom's eyes were fine. However, she did not have vision left of center in either eye. An MRI was scheduled for Wednesday. Thursday morning we met with the surgeon. Thursday afternoon mom was admitted to the hospital and Friday morning at 10:30am she was operated on.

The surgery went well. 90% of the tumor was removed. The final diagnosis was glioblastoma. With this type of tumor they are never able to get 100%.

Mom has undergone 6 weeks of radiation. She finished that on Friday, April 6, 2001. Her oncologist said she did PHENOMENAL.

OUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE......

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift...that is why we call it the present.

Sorry for the delay in updating! The biggest news lately is that Grandma Pat has a GREAT granddaughter. Lilli Grace is now three months old. Please check out her adorable picture on the picture page.

Grandma Pat has a cold right now, but other than that I think she is doing pretty good. I'll try to update again soon.
