It’s been a busy week and I haven’t taken the time to jot down the goings on. I’ll mention the music news in a separate entry. For now I’ll detail the adventures my Mom’s been having in town.
A few months back my Mom had an MRI done at Vancouver General Hospital where they discovered a slow-growing tumor on her brain. Turns out this was a big part of the cause for the epilepsy she’s had ever since she was young and now the doctors realize they can remove part of the tumor to help cure the epilepsy. There’s no guarantee of the effectiveness of the surgery but there’s no doubt that it will help.
Last week my Mom flew into town to have some tests done so they could determine how safe it would be to perform the operation. That was on Friday. Today she met with the surgeon and found out that they could schedule her surgery this Friday! Naturally she jumped on the chance and will be heading in to VGH at 6am Friday morning.
My sister’s even going to come into town, likely Thursday evening, for a bit of a family reunion. So the next few days are going to be busy with family in town and visiting my Mom when she’s in hospital. They’re going to keep her there for a few days after surgery to make sure her recovery goes smoothly and then they’ll discharge her.
Now I need some sleep!
