oh and please keep my mom in your thoughts and prayers. She reads here, but doesn't post.
She has had a pitutary brain tumor for years now, but it is benign, although still wreaks havoc on her endocrine system and possibly vision. She's on all sorts of medication and steroids to help regulate hormones etc. She's had one surgery to remove part of it, but it has grown back. They are concerned with her visit to the neuro surgeon that it is growing faster than they like. So she has an appt with the eye doctor friday am to check if it is affecting her vision (it pushes on the optic nerves etc.) and then see her surgeon again and decide if surgery is in order yet again. We hope she can still enjoy her cruise and she can RELAX with drink in hand! so keep her in your thoughts for us, i know it worries her (and all of us!). but knowing we have a visit to the mouse to look forward to might ease some of the pain! if they do schedule surgery, it might be very soon- before the cruise.
