Mom is doing great.  She is still on the morphine pump.  Kinda scary, but hse needs it.  Her neurosurgeon told her yesterday the when he first saw her MRIs, that he thought it was a tumor on her spine, not the disk.  He even took it to three other neurosurgeons to get their opinions.  All thought it was a tumor.  Thank god for small miracles.

She will be in the hospital for at least five more days.  She starts physical therapy tomorrow.  He wants her to do it in the hospital so that she will actually have to do it.

I can’t wait for her to get out.  It seems like she has been there forever. 

Jesse is missing her badly.  He can’t go up there because they don’t allow anyone under the age of twelve.  She is on the cancer floor and some of those people there are pretty bad off.  Many of the rooms you have to stop and put scrubs and masks on before you can enter.  I can see why they won’t let little ones in.

Ugg, i cna’t even remember why I started wt=riting this entry now.  I had better things to say, bu t I guess that I’m still to worn out to write.

Y’all take care and hug those babies tight.
