Nothing new to report yet. I spoke with the person who does the scheduling with the neurosurgery department this morning and she was out of the office yesterday, so she was in the process of fitting us in then. She said she'd give us a call later today to give us all the details. Mom remains in good spirits and is very positive about the whole process. Mom has been talking with a representative from the insurance company who has been extremely helpful, providing information about what to expect during treatment and what she can and cannot do. She's willing given up her keys, agreeing that driving is not a good idea at this time, and has been grounded from mowing the yard. Her excuse for nearly everything now is, "Must be the brain tumor," or "That probably causes brain tumors," so we're making the best of the situation.
Mom thinks God is trying to make her a morning person, as she's been getting up when Dad gets up for work at 5 and staying up. This is fine for Dad when he's going to work, but very early when he's off or on midnight shift. She's also spending some quality time with Axle, as she takes him on a walk each morning. He's pretty clever and must've figured out how to read the clock, because each morning at 8:00, he climbs out of bed and starts crying because he knows that's his time with Mom. He must sense something is going on as he has really calmed down and is much gentler on his walks now.
We're all trying to savor the little things in life that we maybe overlooked or took for granted a couple weeks ago. We got Dad a fire pit for Father's Day and Mom and I have certainly enjoyed it more than he has, as we've put it to good use a couple nights while he was on midnight shift. It is very relaxing to just sit outside in the dark and watch the embers glow. Pinecones produce a nice smelling smoke, but burn almost as quickly as newspapers!
Thanks to all of you who continue to send cards, call, visit, put us on your prayer lists, and just express your concern. We certainly appreciate all the love and support. I'll include Mom's address for those of you who have asked for it.
