The past two months have been busy with appointments. Mom had her surgery at the Moffitt Cancer Center on October 8th in Tampa Florida. There are only 8 surgeons in the state that are trained in this area, so she was blessed to have 2 wonderful surgeons that just happened to be in Tampa (about 2 1/2 miles from home). The team of nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists are amazing and very compassionate. She's been slowly progressing and yesterday the swelling was down enough for them to remove the trache. She texted me today to say she was released and will be home tomorrow. She will still need to go through radiation once she is home for a while and heals more. The doctors are confident they were able to get all the cancer. Wahoo!!!

Well, for some reason I can no longer post using my initials / BC in the heading of the message as "Author" ... guess Voy made some changes ... But, just for the sake of "positive ID" ... "Serendipity" = "BC" ! :)

It's been almost a month since mom's been released from the Moffitt Cancer Center. Mom is getting her energy back. She came to church on Sunday, and even made a trip to Walmart to pick up some food for family that was coming in from NJ. She took her walker in with her. I still say she should have gotten one of the little carts. LOL. The swelling in her mouth has gone down considerably, but she isn't able to really eat much besides soups and puddings. Thank God for the feeding tube! Even though she misses tasting real food, Mom tells me that she loves smelling everything when we cook. Thanksgiving will be different. Instead of making mashed potatoes, I'm going to make her a potato soup that she can enjoy.
Her radiation treatments will start in the next couple weeks. She'll have 6 weeks if therapy. :( Keep her in your prayers.
