Where things stand after Houston....

The good news is that the tumor in her head hasn't changed since the last visit.

The bad news is that the tumor in her spine has grown. The doctors said it is putting pressure on her spinal cord and if she doesn't have surgery immediately, she will become paralyzed from the waist down. So, she will be flying to Houston on May 11th for surgery prep, with the surgery scheduled for May 17th. They have told her that she should plan on being in the hospital for about a week after the operation.

This surgery is not without risk. She has all the usual risks with surgery, as well as the risk of paralysis. But facing certain paralysis without the surgery, she is moving forward.

David, Char and Teresa are traveling with her to Houston. I will keep the blog updated as I get updates.

Keep her in your thoughts and prayers!
