4 weeks

Mom had a surgery consult today...4 weeks away. I think we all were hoping for the slightest chance that this wouldn't happen. Good news is that the radiation has done it's job and did shrink the tumor. This will make the job of removing tumor easier. Bad news is that there is no way to take only the tumor which means a colostomy is eminent. That was certainly not out first choice but the doctor was pretty positive that he would get it all. After surgery they will do chemo and radiation again. What a journey!
On a lighter note, Miss LT had her first giggling fit this weekend. We had a friend visiting and mom was telling a story. She forgot the name of something and hit her leg 3 times really fast and LT just started giggling! I even captured part of it on video! If I can figure out how to post a video but for now here are a few photos...
** UPDATED I forgot to mention, mom need's some visitors! If you are in the neighborhood, stop by for a short visit. She doesn't have the energy for a long visit so just 5 minutes will do. She had so much fun visiting and laughing with a girlfriend Sunday night, I think it would be great for her if it continues! Oh and remember she's back at the house, if u need the address let me know.
