I'm going to Disney World!

Hi everyone... I've meant to update this for awhile, but we went to Florida in a whirlwind, this update is why it we picked up and went.

About 3wks ago, Sept 8th, dad brought mom in to Maple Grove Hospital after consulting with CTCA about some significant weakness she had been having. They did a scan and the results showed that the original tumor had grown back to the size it was in March and there was also another new tumor. The new tumor was causing a large amount of swelling, which in turn was causing the weakness. Maple Grove hospital transported her to North Memorial in Robbinsdale and during the drive the medics told her if they had waited any longer they would be calling the coroner instead of the transport. Thank God for giving them wisdom to call when they did!

The next day the neurologist came in and told my dad that mom has weeks to a couple months, based on the rate at which the original tumor grew and this new tumor. They put her on steroids to keep the swelling at bay.

After this news, we decided it was time to go and make our memories, so we rented an RV packed up and drove to Florida. We went to Disney for a few days, Sea World, and the ocean multiple times. It was an awesome time and mom is holding steady.

Also, we do still believe God can heal her on this side of heaven if that's His will... and we are also aware of the realities... Mom is ready no matter the outcome and is in good spirits!
