The neurologist has now decided that my mother did not have a stroke. They believe she may have a brain tumor that has caused the seizure. They also say that the bruising around her mouth was from the ventilator not her medication. She was put on Dilantin to prevent another seizure. Her speech is still slurred but she's doing well and she was released from the hospital today. I talked to Dad this evening and he said she's pretty scared about the biopsy. It will involve a small hole being drilled in her skull and a needle inserted to reach the spot the doctors have seen on the MRI. They will withdraw cells to send to pathology and test to see if it's malignant. Her biopsy is scheduled for September 1 and her birthday is the next day so she'll probably still be in the hospital on her birthday. They need to observe her after the biopsy. It's so comforting to know that so many Christians are praying for her all over the world. Thanks to everyone...we all really value your prayers and know that God is faithful.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
