Mom had her stitches removed yesterday!
She also was told that the pathology report was excellent and the tumor was benign! We are all so happy and praising the Lord for His wonderful mercy.
Mom is working each day at gaining strength. It will just take time and work but she is determined to do just that.
Thank you all so much for your prayer, support and love.

The post we have all been waiting for...Mom can go home!!
She was told that she is doing so well that they are going to send her home. She was so very, very happy to hear the news. She is going to be discharged tomorrow morning at 10:00. So if you were thinking of visiting her at the hospital please save yourself the trip. She wont be there :-)
We will take tomorrow to get settled back into the house and then early Sunday morning Joe and I will be traveling back south again. It is so comforting leaving when we know Mom is back home. The Lord has been so good to us all through this difficult time and I think time will give Mom back the strength that she once had.
Many have asked how they can help and I've asked Mrs. McDaniel if she would be willing to coordinate logistics from now on as she will be closer to Mom then I will be. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact Mrs. McDaniel. I really appreciate her willingness to help out this way.
Thank you all so much again for the help and support that you have been to Mom and our whole family. "Thank you" just does not express enough the deep gratitude we feel for how ya'll have helped us through this time of crisis. God has showered His love upon us through you all.

Mom is doing very well in rehab. She has about 2 hours of work in the morning and rest time. Then lunch at 12:00. She slowly works her way through her meals as her taste buds are coming back to her. She has one more session in the afternoon.
Yesterday she was walking completely on her own with the physical therapist for a little bit and she did pretty well. There were a few times she was unsteady but it was progress. She also was working with some weights on her legs. She would lift each leg by itself and then she would pull her leg up to her chest. She said that was really hard to do and when she asked how heavy the weights were he said,"2 lbs." Mom thought for sure they were 10-20 lbs. :-)
Each day she is getting stronger.

Mom is out of Strong Memorial!!! She is now in her new room at CMC.
The therapists here evaluated her and are getting a game plan ready for her. She will be having therapy in the morning, lunch rest and therapy in the afternoon.
Visitors are allowed from 4:00-8:00. Her room is pretty small and she has a room mate right now so if you do visit please just be mindful of those factors.
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. Our family has truly appreciated all the love and help that we have been shown.

9:00pm Tuesday
Since Mom wasn't able to leave today it was hard trying to pass the time but we walked around the unit 4 times, she worked on writing her alphabet, got on Facebook, talked to some friends on the phone and Skype'd with Nathan, my husband, on his 30th birthday! We balanced it out will some rest time though out the day.
Mom was given a walker to walk with and she felt so much better just by having something to hang on to. She had two out of her three meals that really tasted good to her and that helped her want to eat!
Everything should be all lined up for us to leave here early tomorrow and go straight to the rehab center that is only 20 minutes from Mom and Dad's place, for those of you may not know. Much closer than 2 hours from home! :-)
I will find out all the details tomorrow of her rehab and then if you would like to visit Mom please give me a call on my cell. It is my Holly Ann Photography business #. 931-896-3292
Looking forward to the big day! :-)
We praise the Lord who has kept Mom safe through all of this journey.

Because of a bed available and CMC wanting her there by noon she can't go today but they will take her tomorrow. So....tomorrow should be the day.

9:00am Tuesday Morning
Mom's Dr came in this morning and told her they would be working on getting her released today! The CAT scan from yesterday came back and the hydrocephalus is much better and the CAT scan looks good. Praise the Lord for great healing He has done in Mom. We are so grateful!
All the details about transporting her to the rehab center are in the process of being worked out but it looks like she will be taking that next big step today, leaving here and starting rehab!
