On 7/17/08 I posted that my mom was stable and yet I was just waiting for the shoe to drop. Yesterday she experienced severe seizures which put her in the ICU. Today her MRI showed a glio on the right side of her brain (opposite of the original tumor site) as well as growth in other areas of the brain.
Currently she is still in the ICU. Tomorrow we'll speak with the neurosurgeon about possible options but I am certain we will call in hospice and take her home. At this point she is not mobile and unable to speak. Monday morning she was fine, we went about our usual routine. Monday afternoon at 4:20 everything had changed. We are reliving almost exactly what we went through 14 mos ago. I can only hope that this time she will be at peace.
I don't know what tomorrow brings, but please pray for my mother.
Sincerely,
Holly
