Homeward Bound!

Mom's first words to me today were "I feel pretty good today".  The day has finally come to leave this place and Mom and I both agree, we can't wait to get back home.  We have learned lots and Mom has come a long way, but the comforts of home and family are beckoning.  We said our final good bye's and took some pictures yesterday (I'll post them at some point) and then I spent about 5 hours packing.  Some how I managed to get everything into two suitcases and two carry ons.  The bags each weigh slightly less than two anvils so I guess we will have to pay the extra fee.  At this point... who cares! lol.  

Mom is having an MRI on her brain on Sunday afternoon.  Please be in prayer for all of us for future decisions.  Mom's doctor in VA seems to think that the old tumor or new tumor may be the culprit in Mom's recent memory loss and confusion, if this is the case then he thinks the memory loss may be reversible.  We will also be exploring options of radiation to Mom's ribs and leg.  All along Mom has been adamant about not wanting to receive further radiation and the first time around almost killed her due to the nausea.  Please commit these issues to prayer.  Once we are back in VA Mom will be living in the bottom level of Kerry's house, which will be great for Mom being able to get around.  I will be continuing to Blog as everyone seems to enjoy the ease of getting updates.  

We will be arriving in Norfolk, VA at 4:50 Pm and we are most concerned with a) getting home with no edema to Mom's legs and b) seeing my dog as soon as possible :>).

Much Love,

Michelle
