Mom update...

I spent the night at Dad and Mom's after I got off work at 8:00 last night. She seems to be a little stronger. They increased the steroid and it's helped her to have an appetite so she's eating a lot better. Her left side seems pretty weak...it's hard for her to hold onto anything with her left hand and food tends to fall out of the left side of her mouth. Her mind is still pretty clear although she gets confused about things. She actually slept all night without getting up...Dad said that's a first! When she doesn't exhibit many symptoms from the tumor, I find myself hoping that she might be getting better...she hasn't had any headaches or big seizures. I'm really grateful that she doesn't seem to have any pain other than that caused by weak muscles. The course of this disease is so varied in each person that we don't really know what to expect. I'm just grateful for each day she has with us. Joel and Wendy are coming home tonight! We haven't seen them since Christmas so we're really looking forward to their visit...even though it will be a short one. If you'd like to see some cute pics in celebration of Molly and Myron's 10th wedding anniversary, you can check out her blog too.
