Brain Surgery 11/30/2016

If you haven't heard already Mom (Brenda) has a Meningioma in the Right Frontal Lobe that was found last October after a random fall but has now doubled in size in about a year. 

Since last December Mom has endured Breast Cancer that was diagnosed on December 15, 2015 and then had a double mastectomy January 19, 2016.  She has gone through a full reconstruction and just completed that just a little over a month and a half ago and now received news last Thursday that this tumor in her brain needs to come out very soon!

So....this tumor that is not our friend has been causing many problems that we thought were other things but now we know are from this tumor!  She has left sided weakness, especially her left leg and foot drop in her left foot.  Mom is going to physical therapy prior to surgery to help with her strength and then she will be in neuro rehab at Trustpoint for 2 to 6 weeks post op. 

Please keep my Dad, us 3 kids and our families and my grandmother in your prayers and encourage her through this process.

Your positive thoughts and prayers are very welcome.

We have set up a meal page for her a Dad so that Dad does not have to worry about cooking while he goes to visit her each night during rehab, etc.  Here is the link....thank you. http://www.takethemameal.com/meals.php?t=LLRX0019
