My aplogizes for not updating this sooner.

Regarding mom and Her knee replacement. NOPE never happened the week before she was to have it she twisted her knee a little and broke her Knee cap in half. well going to the doc they said that they would have to go in and fuse the Knee cap together wait for that to heal in order to do the Knee Replacement. THEN cam our reg doc. now this doc is also mine so WHEN I DO SEE her I am going to have a little heart to heart talk with her. I know she is looking out for mom but SHES the one that said NO she cant have any surgeries. NOW two doctors said as long as it was an epidural (sorry if that's spelled wrong) she can have it done. WELL miss doc did her thing and got the other docs to side with her even though they still say if she wants it, which she does.

So for now she has a walking brace on her left leg and using a wheel chair around the house. We are going to work our damnedest to get this op. she wants it.

will keep all updated as everything develops.

Well Mom will be back in the Hospital on Sept 6th, but this time not Lutheran General she will be in Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove. SHES finally having her left knee replaced. Shes been using my grandmothers walker for the last week or two because of her knee hurting really bad. So they finally convinced her. SHE will be awake (:( IM NOT EVEN THINKING OF what shes going to hear. ) She will be given a epidural.

Please Excuse me as I should have posted this last friday.

Well the Doctor called. GOOD NEWS. The specs they saw on the one film and thought that the cancer had come back in her liver and the spot on her esophagus is gone again so they believe it could just be residual of something of something on the film.. THIS time the scan came back CLEAN. He sounded really happy though he did not mention the spots on the liver but we assuming the way he was talking that they are gone to.

SO as of NOW Shes cancer free Lets pray and hope it stays that way.

Her lungs on the other hand isn't improving which we new wouldn't cause of how bad the damage is FROM ALL THE YEARS OF SMOKING. (If any of you are smokers I hope your catching my meaning between the lines...... J and M....)

well that's it for now will keep you all up to date as soon as we know anything.

Well, I wish this update was of good news. BUT it's back. Scans show a few specks on moms liver and a spot in her chest by her esophagus.

She goes to the doc in two weeks and they will talk about her treatment. I know the liver shots have been coming and going on the last few scans. so WHO knows maybe just blips on the films , well can wish.

Will keep all updates as we know.
