It's been about a week since my last update on our Mom (Alice, Aunt, Grandma). I've been holding off posting the update until I had some news from yesterday's checkup at the UC. Thankfully, Dr. Seiwert of the UC Oncology department said that Mom is beginning to heal after months of treatment like they hoped for. In a week or so, she will really start to feel better and, hopefully, gain back some of her normal physical activity. But this is going to require a lot of hard work on her part and rigorous physical therapy. Of particular concern is Mom's ability to open and close her mouth. Evidently, because of the radiation of the past two months, her mouth will permanently freeze up unless an immediate exercise program is followed. We are hoping that she will be upbeat enough to push herself with these upcoming programs.
So please continue to pray for our Mom's recovery at this time. She knows that people are praying for her and that the Lord has responded by allowing her to survive the re-irradiation treatment. She is so grateful for friends and family that she has. She is always grateful for the Lord and the comfort of knowing that she is "in His hands." Please continue your emails and cards as well. She may not be able to respond to you right away, but as she gets stronger she will. Hopefully, the next update will come directly from her.
