well, poor Weeze is about to go on another wild adventure... She will start chemo and radiation next week to treat the growing tumors in her body. Unfortunately, we found another one this week and are praying that radiation will get rid of it in 10 treatments.
This week we signed mom up with Hope Hospice. If you are like I was before this week, and unfamiliar with all of the services they provide, please click on the above link and do some nosing around. They will pay for ALL of mom's meds (related to the cancer) and provide amazing services like housekeeping (can I hear an AMEN!?!) and do her laundry and even go grocery shopping for her! They even have an art therapist that will come out & teach her some art techniques and such.
Dad had a TERRIBLE bout of the flu last weekend, but is feeling better now.
I go to the neurosurgeon on Monday to see if I might be a surgical candidate to help alleviate some of the headaches caused by the chiari malformation. I will do my best to keep you updated as we travel on...
Many blessings to you all...
Anita

Love,

you know the last time i read this was weez's b-day and look at how things have changed... Life is continually chaotic and ever changing. its strange to be getting older but even stranger to have your loved ones age as your grandparents aged, the titles begin to change as parent to grandparent-- from child to parent with or without the arrival of a new child. The dynamics are astounding but its the nature of life. I watch my mom age and shake, slower and slower she moves and seems to revert to a more inmature mom with every new doctors visit. I do mental notes of ailments, actions, sensitivities, and sensibilities on a daily basis to hopefully gather a greater knowledge of my own demise and when it might start perhaps. To watch suffering is one of the hardest things to endure in a lifetime. And you and i have had our share. I am sitting here watching the flintstones laughing at things that i didnt laugh at as a child. Thinking of my long traveled seperated-soul friend with pm dawn playing in the background just wondering if you'll understand the ADD and laugh at my ramblings and remember the goodtimes with a tear in your eye as i do....I miss you terribly and know i will see you this summer! its my 20th and its been way to long for me and you my friend. we are in dire need of each others energies. Im excited hope you are too! I love you my dearest friend. woah i think i should've emailed this oh well
Anita,
I continue to pray for you and your family.
Take care.
