Wendy went home yesterday. First stop was to get a hat! Very weak, but in great spirits. She has a long way to go before this is over. Radiation starts in a short time, after that we'll just have to wait and see. She most likely has another major surgery in her future if they decide to remove the rest of the tumor. Waiting two weeks for the Mayo report will be tough.
Godzilla: Thank you so much for the lead. I did immediately research "Duke" and they are full of positive information. Trust that I will follow through with them if there is even so much as a hiccup along the way.
It is disheartening when one of the top Neurosurgeons, from the 5th largest hospital in the country tells you, 'we just aren't sure'. Seems her tumor is not your basic run of the mill tumor.
I will post an address later today. I'd love to give you her home address, but it seems her wonderful husband has decided to actually buy them a house for Christmas. Note-They have been apartment bound since marriage, saving enough money to get the home they want. John, her husband decided last week that they had waited long enough. Talk about a fast moving story! DV Jr. jumps in with both feet, having a brief back ground as financial advisor, and having contacts in the world of realtors, in less than an hour he had the loan officer and a realtor set up to meet John at the hospital!
Done! Simply done. Now all Wendy has to do is pick out her house and move! It's a Christmas surprise for Wendy, as she doesn't even know yet
To each and every one of you...thanks for the prayers.
And John...fella you brought tears to these eyes. Those were better times, and it sure makes looking forward to them again a lot easier.
DV...I hope and pray each and every one of you have a Merry Christmas
